She has reason to believe that her long-lost parent is either Laurent Courchene, a steadfast Métis activist; Albert Cardinal, a celebrated Indigenous soldier and chief; or Paul Rutherford, the enigmatic \"other guy\" with a hidden identity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the three men rekindle their bond with each other and get to know Sara, new information threatens to rattle everything: a fourth candidate for paternity has been discovered. Clarence Osborne is an alcoholic living on the streets of Vancouver and the son of a street person named Mary. Sara is forced to confront the circumstances that led to Mary's homelessness, the sordid treatment of First Nations peoples by the Canadian government, and how her own biases have shaped and controlled her identity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trinity: The Indian, The Half-Breed, and the Other Guy is a powerful, moving novel that examines truth and reconciliation from a Western Canadian historical context. It is a story of connection, resilience, and justice in the face of the enduring impact of Canada's colonial legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSutton, C.
