Mailhot, who is from the Seabird Island band in British Columbia, said it was terrifying releasing such a personal book out into the world.
I had always fictionalized it … and I think I was really forced to deal with myself. The memoir reflects the long lasting impact of intergenerational trauma and genocide on Indigenous people, and in it, Mailhot gets personal about the abuse she experienced and her struggles with mental health. It was met with rave reviews, and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. When Terese Marie Mailhot published her debut, Heart Berries: A Memoir, she couldn't have predicted the response.
