The Reader's Retreat: The Theory of Crows by David A. Robertson | Curated Book & Loose-Leaf Tea Gift Box

When Matthew, a Cree man struggling with personal trauma and a demanding career, finds his marriage fracturing and his relationship with his teenage daughter, Holly, slipping away, he plans a journey into the Canadian wilderness. Hoping to reconnect with his heritage and repair his relationship with Holly, Matthew takes her on a bush trip to locate his family's historic trapline.
