Publisher's summary:
All Gregory Scofield ever wanted was to belong. Born into a Metis family but never told his heritage, Gregory knew he was different, his feeelings of displacement heightened by poverty, illness, abuse and loss. Separated from his mother when he was five, sent to live with strangers and extended family, he tried to make sense of a world that often didn't make sense at all. As he grew , clinging to the edge of an already misunderstood society, Gregory faces his own rejection from both the Native and non-Native communities, who were unable to accept him for himself.
Thunder Through my Veins is Gregory Scofield's traumatic, tender and redeeming story of his fight to discover himself --and of a young man finally able to harmonize often very disparate voices into one joyful song. Universal in its themes and its emotional moments, it is a beautifully lyrical and tremendously hopeful book.
