Book Nook discussion: “Probably Ruby” by Lisa Bird-Wilson
Join us as we discuss Probably Ruby, Lisa Bird-Wilson’s powerful debut novel about an adopted Indigenous woman searching for connection, identity and belonging.
Told through interconnected stories and shifting perspectives, the novel follows Ruby as she pieces together her personal history and navigates the complicated relationships that have shaped her life. Through humour, honesty and heartbreak, the story explores what it means to understand where we come from and to define family and identity on our own terms.
This thought-provoking novel explores themes of:
Indigenous identity and belonging
Adoption and separation from culture
The search for biological family and personal history
The lasting impacts of colonialism and the child welfare system
Healing, connection and self-discovery
