Summary of Amanda Lindhout & Sara Corbett's A House in the Sky

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was nine years old and living in a town called Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada. I trusted what I knew about the world, which was a tribe of pygmy archers in the Congo and the green geometry of Kyoto’s tea gardens.

#2 My mother had known Russell for years before he became her boyfriend. He had been raised on the Sunchild First Nation Reserve, and had four brothers who ended up somewhere between the reserve and Red Deer.

#3 My mother had a relationship with Russell, which was a sort of screw-you directed at all the white kids she went to high school with in Red Deer. Russell gave her an odd new cachet. He was young and mildly handsome, and came from a place that was considered wild and unusual.

#4 I had a brother, Mark, who was 13 when we moved to Sylvan Lake. We would go to the dumpster outside our apartment building to find things to sell. We would visit five or six garbage bins regularly, and would bring home lots of money.
