"In This Together demonstrates that colonization is not a thing of Canada’s past, and suggests that real reconciliation is only possible through an honest appraisal of our present." —Quill & Quire

In This Together is selected as one of four titles on Edmonton LitFest's 2016 Summer Reading List.

Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail tells Praire Books Now: "I've always found the best way to understand 'issues' is through personal stories, and I think the idea of reconciliation is no different . . . I hope readers will use the essays in this book as a springboard for examining the stories they tell themselves . . . about relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in this country."
