Waiting for the Long Night Moon - Stories
Review, Tribal College Journal of American Indian Higher Education
The eloquence of the Mi’kmaq storyteller’s prose drives narratives grounded in loss, grief, persistence, and redemption. . . Rooting her stories in a longing for their sense of family and community, the resilience of Indigenous cultural bonds is a consistent theme throughout Peters’ collection. Her characters are tenacious, thoughtful, and introspective, and therewithin lies their power."—Ryan Winn, Tribal College Journal of American Indian Higher Education
