BACK TO THE RED ROAD…A Story of Survival, Redemption and Love, by Florence Kaefer & Edward Gamblin, is more than one man's story: it is the story of our nation and how healing can begin, one friendship, one apology at a time.

In 1954, when Florence Kaefer was just nineteen, she accepted a job as a teacher at Norway House. Unaware of the difficult conditions the students were enduring, Florence and her fellow teachers nurtured a school full of lonely and homesick young Indigenous children. After a few years, Florence moved to Vancouver Island with her new husband where she continued to teach, thinking often of the children of Norway House. Many years later, after the death of her husband, Florence unexpectedly reconnected with one of her Norway House students, Edward Gamblin.

The story of their personal reconciliation is both heartfelt and heartbreaking as Edward begins to share his painful truths with his family, Florence, and the media. Three years after Edward's death in in 2010, Florence has continued to advocate for truth and reconciliation.
