There’s a subtle and brutal honesty in Auger’s writing that is coupled with a gentle wisdom that safely guides the reader through often difficult, but very real experiences for many Indigenous women.” www.writerstrust.com/authors/odet...

“With a firm grasp of her writing tools, lived experience, and raw-edged truth, Auger has created a distinct and powerful voice — direct, poetic at times, and gut-wrenchingly honest at the right intervals." Insightful, stretching edits from my mentor Joseph Kakwinokanasum, via Writer's Trust
