Inspirational Saga of Anishinabe Woman: Frenchie Published by Otter Publishing
Otter Publishing announces the latest highly anticipated autobiography and personal memoirs book from Winona, MN author, Catherine Alexander.
Winona, MN, November 28, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Otter Publishing has published Frenchie: Story of a White Earth Daughter by Catherine Alexander. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the autobiography and personal memoirs category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Being a Native American in the 1920s wasn’t easy. It was even harder to be female, and a minority, living on a reservation. This inspirational story is based on true life events of a strong and beautiful, young, mixed-blood, Anishinabe woman growing up on the White Earth Reservation who faces not only the challenges of racial discrimination, sexism and the economic challenges of the Depression, but who must also overcome the traumatic repercussions of being brutally raped as a teenager.
Frenchie is subsequently diagnosed with schizophrenia and must live the rest of her life with the stigma of mental illness. But Frenchie is not a woman who can be so easily reduced to a handful of diagnoses and labels. Despite the difficulty of coping with mental illness, Frenchie is determined to live a full life, and she embraces a full range of experience, from the pain of lost love to the tender grace of motherhood.
Readers will journey with Frenchie as she finds the courage to call upon and use the resources available to her: the support and love of family, friends, and community…and most of all, her own extraordinary inner power, which is finally brought to full flower with the help of a Midewewin medicine man and his sacred megis shells.
233 pages in length, Frenchie: Story of a White Earth Daughter is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the autobiography and personal memoirs category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Frenchie meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $12.95.
