Voices pulled from the embers

In "Voices Pulled From the Embers," Shelley, a young Black woman, returns to her childhood home, haunted by memories of her past and the secrets locked within the surrounding woods. As she reflects on her history, a traumatic event from her youth resurfaces, connecting her family's struggles with those of the Mi'kmaq people who once inhabited the land. When her sister Amber collapses in distress after hearing a mysterious voice from the woods, it leads the family to confront their intertwined legacies and the injustices faced by both communities. 

Through a solemn and spiritual journey, they seek to honor the past, culminating in a powerful act of remembrance that bridges cultural divides and highlights the importance of preserving history. Ultimately, Shelley finds solace and purpose in her roots, vowing never to abandon the homestead that connects her to her family's poignant legacy.
