About
One of CBC's 50 exciting books for Fall 2026!
Raw and unfiltered, Missy conjures her own magic in a world that treats her like a punchline. Along the way, she pieces together a self from fragments, nerve, and whatever's left.
In constant motion between New Brunswick and Cuba, Missy Whynaught is a coming-of-age story that uses dark humour to explore complex issues of sexuality, childhood neglect, poverty and the racist legacies of colonialism. An explosive novel that explores how one girl survives the relationships she was born into and the ones she makes throughout her life.
