Summary

Danica Roache didn't see her life experience reflected much in fiction, so she wrote it herself. The result is a funny and tender book, Five Seasons of Charlie Francis, that follows a young Mi'kmaw woman of mixed ancestry as her 5-year plan goes sideways. The book has three nominations at the Nova Scotia and Atlantic Book Awards, and Danica joins Atlantic Voice this week to talk about Indigenous joy, the threats to Nova Scotia publishing, and her top 3 songs currently on repeat.
