Sisters of the spruce : a novel / Leslie Shimotakahara. by Shimotakahara, Leslie. Caitlin Press, 2024. Call #: FICTION SHI Subjects Logging -- Fiction.   Chinese -- Canada -- Fiction.   British Columbia -- History -- 20th century -- Fiction.   Haida Gwaii (B.C.) -- History -- 20th century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781773861371 (trade pbk.) Description:  233 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  World War One is in high gear. Fourteen-year-old Khya Terada moves with her family to a remote, misty inlet on Haida Gwaii, then the Queen Charlotte Islands, in northern British Columbia, known for its Sitka spruces. The Canadian government has passed an act to expedite logging of these majestic trees, desperately needed for the Allies’ aircrafts in Europe. At a camp on the inlet, Khya’s father, Sannosuke -- a talented, daring logger with twenty years of experience since immigrating from Japan -- assumes a position of leadership among the Japanese and Chinese workers. But the arrival of a group of white loggers, eager to assert their authority, throws off balance the precarious life that Khya and her family have begun to establish. When a quarrel between Sannosuke and a white man known as “the Captain” escalates, leading to the betrayal of her older sister, Izzy, and humiliation for the family, Khya embarks on a perilous journey with her one friend -- a half-Chinese sex worker, on the lam for her own reasons -- to track down the man and force him to take responsibility. Yet nothing in the forest is as it appears. Can they save Izzy from ruination and find justice without condemning her to a life of danger, or exposing themselves to the violence of an angry, power-hungry man? Drawing on inspiration from her ancestors’ stories and experiences, Shimotakahara weaves an entrancing tale of female adventure, friendship, and survival."--Publisher's website.
