A STRANGER AT HOME is the sequel to the unforgettable memoir FATTY LEGS. 10-year-old Margaret Pokiak (aka Olemaun) is traveling to be reunited with her family in the arctic. It’s been two years since her parents delivered her to the school run by the dark-cloaked nuns and brothers. Coming ashore, Margaret spots her family, but her mother barely recognizes her. Margaret realizes she is now marked as an outsider. But Margaret gradually relearns her language and her family’s way of living and along the way, she discovers how important it is to remain true to the ways of her people — and to herself. A first-person account of a young girl’s struggle to find her place - an inspiration to young readers to ask what it means to belong. By Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton with artwork by Liz Amini-Holmes, Published by Annick Press.
