Mona Susan Power will discuss her new novel, A Council of Dolls, a story that focuses on the lingering impact the Indian Boarding School experience has on three generations of a Dakhóta family.

Attendees will be mindful of how much the past is never truly past, but still impacts us today–we are being called to reckon with difficult histories in order to help heal our present circumstances and challenges.

A Council of Dolls is the seventh title selected for the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library’s One Book, One Community reading initiative.
