Being the new kid in town can be challenging in many ways: Especially when you're a little different. Let's face it, kids can be, well . . . not so nice. In this book for young readers, Josephine's character serves as a beautiful example for both kids and adults, and reminds us that no one should ever Judge a book by its cover.
We sing songs about birds. They can't understand them. There's a song about us we can't understand. Some of us hear it. To each it's a different song and a different singer. I hear a bird that can't sing. I hear the raven. Josephine Littletree, a mixed-race aboriginal, grows up in British Columbia in the 1930s. At a residential school priests and nuns try to "kill the Indian" in her. She escapes and lives for years in her people's hunting grounds but when she leaves faces prejudice again from white society. Her early relationships fall victim to it. Sometimes it's a wild ride through a world of bootlegging, battering, prostitutes, bank robbery and the paranormal. Overcoming her addiction to alcohol, she takes her grandmother's advice and gathers together the myths of her people in a book and becomes a storyteller. During World War II she meets a white man who falls in love with her. She lives with him in his shack on the waterfront. They are both outsiders, but with a difference that dooms their relationship. Returning to her reserve to take care of her sick grandmother, she contracts tuberculosis and retuses to see him any more. His letters go unanswered. In a sanatorium she meets with prejudice for the last time. In a final gesture of defiance and accetptance she goes back to her reserve. She writes about her life with acid humour, bitterness and regret. When the love between and man and a woman isn't equal, there's a reason. The man she rejects has chosen to be an outsider. She was born one.

JOIN THE CRUSADE Josephine Butler... one of the world's most influential social reformers... but chances are, you've never heard of her. Welcome to Victorian Britain. Meet Josey, a Northumbrian lass, blissfully married to George, a brilliant teacher. When a shocking tragedy shatters their family life, she transforms herself into a tireless champion of women's rights. The crusade takes her into every corner of Britain and exposes a harrowing underworld in the great capitals of Europe too. What is the crusade's aim, and what gruesome trials and tribulations must Josephine endure in its pursuit? Discover Josephine's opponents and allies, why she never gives up, and how her legacy continues more than a century later to shape today's world. This new dramatisation of her amazing true story is not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.
My name is Josephine, and I awoke in a dream. I was back in 1930; eight years old, it would seem. We were having a celebration, and there was so much to do. I reflected on that particular day before the dream was through. Jennifer Lang Boehl is a Children's book author from Rochester, New York. She recently lost her grandmother, Josephine, and she wrote this book as a loving tribute to her. The story is from a special day that Josephine remembered as a child. Jennifer uses symbolism as a way of expressing her interpretation of the night of Josephine's passing. It is meant to heal those who loved her and will give peace to those who have lost a loved one themselves.
