ALT Title text reads "Synopsis" with text below that reads "When a young girl helps tend to her grandmother's garden, she begins to notice things about her grandmother that make her curious. Why does her grandmother have long braided hair and wear beautifully coloured clothing? Why does she speak another language and spend so much time with her family? As she asks her grandmother about these things, she is told about life in a residential school where everything was taken away. When We Were Alone is a story about a difficult time in history and, ultimately, a story of empowerment and strength."
