Amanda Peters’ debut novel ‘The Berry Pickers’ is a ‘harrowing tale of Indigenous separation’

The author and literature professor talks about how her father, who is Mi’kmaq, shared stories of his own days picking berries in Maine. Although she’s never been berry picking herself, Amanda Peters shares her Mi’kmaq heritage in her bestselling story about a four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl who goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a tragic mystery that haunts the survivors, unravels a community, and remains unsolved for nearly fifty years.
