Initial reactions

I am enjoying the book so far. The main characters are April and Cheryl. Cheryl is the type of person or perhaps character who is both realistic and curious about a lot of things such as her cultural background, the "native way of living", and how the power of the "whites" over ruled them. April is the character who is self-aware of things. She likes to try to take of other people especially Cheryl. She feels the need to fix things when stuff goes wrong. There is also a few characters that get involved with both of their lives, such as Bob who she marries April right away. He's very wealthy. Later on she gets involved with a man named Roger. He is a very kind person and is very loving towards April. He supports her with all the problems that are happening or that have happened.  I'm surprised when April just gave up looking for her parents. I understand how she wouldn't want to continue looking for them because they were alcoholics and she kept that from Cheryl for a very long time. I predict that the two sisters will eventually be split apart a for some time because of living with different foster parents. I also predict that one of the sisters is going to carry the alcoholism with them when they get older. It always seems that one of the many siblings carry some sort of abuse, or alcoholism with them from their parents. The story is set in Winnipeg. This book reminds me of Residential School. From pulling Indigenous children from their families to attend the school for 10 months with sometimes not being able to see you parents at all. This book is sorta doing the same but removing children from broken families and putting them in white foster families. What will happen to the sisters later on? What will happen to their real parents?
