A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER   Winner of the Whiting Award for Non-Fiction  Selected by Emma

Gay   'A sledgehammer' New York Times    Heart Berries is a powerful  poetic memoir of a
woman's coming of age on an Indian Reservation in the Pacific Northwest. Having survived a
profoundly dysfunctional upbringing only to find herself hospitalised and facing a dual
diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder  Terese Marie Mailhot is
given a notebook and begins to write her way out of trauma.  The triumphant result is Heart
Berries   a memorial for Mailhot's mother  a social worker and activist who had a thing for
prisoners  a story of reconciliation with her father - an abusive drunk and a brilliant artist
- who was murdered under mysterious circumstances  and an elegy on how difficult it is to love
someone while dragging the long shadows of shame.  Memory isn't exact  but melded to
imagination. In Heart Berries   Mailhot discovers her own true voice  seizes control of her
story  and  in so doing  re-establishes her connection to her family  to her people  and to her
place in the world.
