Summary:

"Exploring the intricacies of power, culture and emotion when a non-Indigenous person moves to an Indigenous community as an educator, Jennifer Manuel casts a spell as captivating and perceptive as in her bestselling novel The Heaviness of Things That Float. When new teacher Molleigh Royston moves to Tawakin--a remote Nuu-chah-nulth community in the Pacific Northwest--she arrives with good intentions. However, as she struggles to understand and help her students, doubts begin to accumulate--including doubts about her own motivations. Things escalate when three students start behaving strangely and Molleigh makes a serious cultural transgression, triggering a series of disturbing events in the village. Giant boulders are placed in front of Molleigh's house, furniture moves mysteriously and flowers erupt in flame. The Morning Bell Brings the Broken Hearted is a captivating story about the complexity of hope and the limits of good intent, offering a grave look at how the education system fails remote Indigenous communities, leaving Indigenous students, with all their brilliance and resilience, in the hands of transient educators."-- Provided by publisher.
