Tracking the Caribou Queen by Margaret Macpherson

Tracking the Caribou Queen is a beautifully written memoir about growing up in Canada’s North. As a young girl, author Margaret MacPherson and her family move to Yellowknife, where her father was a school administrator and her mother a nurse during the 1960s and ‘70s.
