From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle

Jesse didn’t expect his life to turn out this way, from juggling life on the streets and overcoming addiction, to a loving family and becoming an Indigenous scholar. He rises through each tragedy and trauma with a resilience of someone who's done this before. 
 
This book will tug at your heart strings. Through all of Jesse’s struggles, you can’t help but feel for him, and cheer him along.
