Wishing You Well

Melissa Calliou

Originally written as a screenplay for a short film, this poignant narrative unveils the lasting impact of the residential school system on generations of Indigenous people. Through a powerful blend of past and present, Wishing You Well reveals the cycle of abuse that shaped the lives of countless families, shedding light on the trauma that was passed down through the years. Yet, in the midst of this heart-wrenching legacy, the story also explores themes of healing, resilience, and the strength of familial love. A tribute to those who endured and survived, this story serves as both a reflection of our painful history and a message of hope for future generations. Wishing You Well is a must-read for those seeking to understand the power of memory, the importance of breaking cycles, and the enduring power of love and healing.
