The Fragments that Remain

Dearest Departed, I do not know when I decided I was going to write. I am not a writer. You are. You were.

Honorary twins Ally and Andy, born at the start and end of the same year, have always shared everything — until Ally dies, his passing ruled a suicide by overdose. A year later, Andy starts her first year at college without her other half, writing letters to Ally as she makes new friends who know nothing about him, falls in love for the first time, and strives to embrace her bisexuality and her Indigenous identity. When Andy discovers the poems Ally hid in their room, she pieces together these remaining fragments to make sense of her brother’s life — and his death.A story told through letters and poems, The Fragments that Remain is a heart-wrenching and hopeful debut novel from Mackenzie Angeconeb.

Trust the Mind, Destroy the Body

Bambi has been battling her body silently for over a decade and she is finally ready to win.

Bambi, a young Anishinaabemowin teacher who has spent over a decade locked in a brutal relationship with her eating disorder and is finally desperate to choose life over slow self-destruction. She grows up absorbing cutting comments about her body until controlling food becomes her only way to feel safe and worthy. Between the corridors of a small northern high school, volunteer shifts at a youth centre, and fleeting moments of warmth with friends and family, Bambi meticulously plans cycles of restriction, binges, and purges, even as they begin to threaten her health and career. The quiet care of her nurse roommate Jade, the memory of her former partner Dru’s love, and the echo of teachings and ceremony gradually force her to ask who she could be if she stopped defining herself by a number on the scale. Intimate, painful, and tender, this novel offers an unflinching look from inside chronic disordered eating―rooted in colonial trauma, family patterns, and bone-deep shame, while tracing a fragile but persistent hope in the daily, uncertain choice to recover.
