Cara-Lyn Morgan comes from both Indigenous (Metis) and Immigrant (Trinidadian) roots in the place known as Turtle Island and Canada.

Motherhood, trauma, and familial history are woven together into a powerful collection.

Beginning with a revelation of familial sexual abuse, Building a Nest from the Bones of My People charts the impact of this revelation on the speaker. From the pain of estrangement to navigating first-time motherhood in the midst of a family crisis, Morgan explores the complexities of generational and secondary abuse, intertwined as they are with the impacts of colonization.
