I also have to mention that an effective, energetic, and passionate school librarian is a thing to behold. They’re the most honest readers you’ll ever meet, sometimes brutally so, but that’s what makes it so fun to engage with them. I love getting out there and meeting young readers and fans of the book.

Rather, Cedar comes to learn that motherhood is multi-faceted and complicated, and that it transcends biological inheritance-a stance which flies in the face of the utilitarian, biologistic philosophy of the new government. Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich Award-winning novelist Louise Erdrich is nothing if not prolific. The theme of motherhood is not expressed in a single person. Mary’s relationship with her daughter Little Mary (Cedar’s half-sister) as well as her brief relationship with Cedar provide new perspectives on motherhood, which Cedar incorporates into her own definition. At the same time, Cedar meets Mary Potts, her biological mother, whom Cedar comes to view as an older sister. Even after Cedar learns the identity of her biological mother, she never stops viewing Sera as her “mom” (149). While the women are not biologically related, Cedar learns from Sera that motherhood is as much about actions as it is about blood. Sera is Cedar’s adoptive mother, providing the cornerstone of Cedar’s experience of motherhood. ![]() ![]() ![]() They often cannot find jobs, and without a way to earn an honest living, many recidivate.
