In Firekeeper's Daughter, Boulley paints a detailed portrait of Daunis Fontaine, a young Sault Ste. Marie high school senior who is caught between two worlds in many aspects of her life. She is part of two families--her father’s Ojibwe Firekeeper family and her mother’s Fontaine family of local prominence. She is restless to leave town for college, but her devotion to her grandmother pulls her back. Daunis is both an aspiring scientist and hockey player. She’s loyal, determined and daring, and her curiosity lands her in the middle of an undercover operation, which will answer personal and community questions she didn’t know to ask.
Boulley’s inaugural novel is delightful, dramatic, and full of surprises.
