They are the parents of five adult children; James and Zan who are genetically linked; Kathleen, Tim, and Alex who are adopted. Now Alex's family of origin, believing the adoption was never finalized, wants his body. \u003cbr\u003e The Family first threatens to steal Alex's body and then, at a series of Big House meetings, plans to get a court injunction. They want to put the funeral and burial on hold and the body on ice until Alex is legally their property. Alex's parents must put aside their grieving as they search for proof of their son's adoption and wait to hear if they will be allowed to take care of his final arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e A Salish First Nations cultural event, a Burning, helps both families come to terms with their loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0994889224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780994889225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e A.F.S.Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.54d","brand":"Ruth Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450317107455,"sku":"9780994889225","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c04b13e-0a79-438f-8f20-edea0a991781.jpg?v=1698504113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-burning-ruth-spencer-9780994889225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
