For over sixty years, Cecile St. Amant has been keeping a deep secret - she is Métis. Cecile's granddaughter, Janelle, sets out to understand her Mémére's denial and playfully plots her own mission to open her Mémére's eyes to the richness of their heritage.
As the two face-off in a battle of the wills, Janelle soon realizes that her Mémére will not be easily convinced that being Métis is something to be proud of. In this heartwarming and extraordinary journey, Janelle's mischievous and persistent prodding of her grandmother reveals a generation's legacy of shame and the profound courage of the human spirit to overcome it.
