A four-year-old Mi\u2019kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a mystery that will haunt the survivors, unravel a family, and remain unsolved for nearly fifty years<\/p>\n

“A stunning debut about love, race, brutality, and the balm of forgiveness.” \u2014People, A Best New Book<\/p>\n

July 1962. A Mi\u2019kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family\u2019s youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister\u2019s disappearance for years to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren\u2019t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For readers of The Vanishing Half and Woman of Light, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time.<\/p>\n

“A harrowing tale of Indigenous family separation . . . [Peters]\u00a0excels in writing characters for whom we can\u2019t help rooting . . .\u00a0With The Berry Pickers, Peters takes on the monumental task of giving witness to people who suffered through racist attempts of erasure like her Mi\u2019kmaw ancestors.” \u2014The New York Times Book Review
