A rich memoir collection of short personal stories inspired by Dawn's lived experiences as the child of a residential school survivor, a true Rez kid, and a mother who is breaking the difficult cycle of abuse as an inter-generational trauma survivor.

Memory Keeper is a collection of stories which offers anecdotes and stories, however comedic or horrific, from the author's life, living on the Six Nations Reservation. These stories helped her to circumnavigate constructively the residual pain and dysfunction that is the legacy of the Residential School System. As a Registered Social Worker and Community Health Worker, Dawn Cheryl Hill does not leave the reader impacted by the shock and trauma of her stories, instead she offers a workbook companion with the published collection as a healing resource for her readers.
