{"product_id":"northern-girls-michelle-willms-9781771864091","title":"Northern Girls","description":"\"What goes on in this house stays in this house.\" That was the rule when author Michelle Willms was growing up, and she abided out of loyalty--until now. In the care of a single, working mother who uses alcohol to quiet her childhood memories, Michelle and her siblings are often left without a responsible parental figure to care for them, and more often than not find themselves alone or in danger. They learn to appease, negotiate with, or physically fight off the abusive men who track through their home. Brave, engaging and electric, Northern Girls is a collection of true stories about the fractured legacy of growing up in rural northern Ontario. Exploring themes of generational trauma, parental addictions, and domestic violence, Willms confronts a past replete with both fragility and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Willms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771864095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771864091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baraka Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michelle Willms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447189090559,"sku":"9781771864091","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ca4055a-2c3d-442d-8a22-866cdd861eca.jpg?v=1777229438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northern-girls-michelle-willms-9781771864091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
