Summary: Whispering in Shadows Shouts out to the Native Community
Comment: Jeannette Armstrong's novel Whispering in Shadows has a strong protagonist in the character of Penny. Penny is a Native of the Okanagan Nation (like the author of the book) and is a mother of three, an artist and an activist. Throughout the novel, Penny comes face to face with the struggles of Native, or Indigenous, people throughout North America. Whether she is in the forests of Western Canada or in the desolate Mayan communities in Mexico, or even trying to get a job, Penny sees first hand the battles that Native people have to fight, from trying to keep what is theirs to trying to survive as a people. As a Native American reading the novel, some of the situations that are described strike a chord of remembrance, as one or more of Penny's experiences are things that we have all been through, from racism to protecting our land. I would also highly recommend this book to non-Native readers, so that they could try to understand the struggles that we face.
