Edmonds Library Book Group - "Red Paint" by Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe
Welcome to the Edmonds Library Book Group! This month we will be
discussing Red Paint by Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe.
Sasha taqwšeblu LaPointe, a Coast Salish indigenous woman, has always longed for a sense of home. As a child her family moved around frequently. As an adolescent, Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, with little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the memory of her beloved great-grandmother, a linguist who helped preserve her indigenous language of Lushootseed. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience and above all the ability to heal that chronicles Sasha's struggles navigating a collapsing marriage while answering the call to greater purpose.
Physical books can be picked up at the front desk in the previous month. eBooks and audiobooks can be accessed through Libby or Overdrive.
If you haven't finished the book by the meeting date and would like to join, you are more than welcome. Beware, spoilers ahead.
