🗞️ “A tongue-in-cheek satire of both ‘wellness’ and the newspaper industry, all wrapped up in a murderous cozy.” —Nita Prose, bestselling author of the The Maid.

SOFT AS BONES is a poetic memoir as intricately woven as a dreamcatcher about overcoming the pain of generational trauma with the power of traditional healing.

“Chyana Marie Sage writes with an unflinching emotional clarity, lyrical prose, and a wisdom well beyond her years. Her memoir is emotionally engaging, full of light, rage, love, and pain. This book establishes Chyana as one of the strongest young voices to emerge from Canada and our nations, unafraid to speak the truths that need to be heard.” — Tanya Talaga, author of The Knowing

SOFT AS BONES is available on May 27th. You can pre-order your copy here: https://houseofanansi.com/collections/coming-soon/products/soft-as-bones
