The story begins in 1957, as nine-year-old Yvette Wong helps out in her parents' café in Alistair, Saskatchewan. She's incredibly bright but has been placed in the slow learners' class because of her skin colour. Her mother Katherine, who was forced to attend a residential school, in conflicted about her identity and has charged Yvette with a secret to never tell anyone she's part Cree.
