Amanda Peters

Written before her award-winning debut novel, The Berry Pickers, Amanda Peters called this collection of short stories “her writing training wheels.” Peters’s stories are deeply rooted in the Indigenous experience. Whether re-imagining a story passed down from her elders or creating a story entirely from her own imagination, Peters explores a broad spectrum in time and place with unflinching honesty. Waiting for the Long Night Moon offers a glimpse into the creative brain of a gifted storyteller.
