LIVRES AGAPÉ BOOKS to Launch Powerful New Memoir – Native Immigrant: A Personal Journey into Our Home and Native Land by Carolina Echeverría
Laval – September 1, 2025 – LIVRES AGAPÉ BOOKS is proud to announce the upcoming release of its first adult publication, Native Immigrant: A Personal Journey into Our Home and Native Land, by Chilean-born Canadian artist and writer Carolina Echeverría. As a local, independent, multilingual publishing house, Livres Agapé Books champions creative freedom and is committed to sharing unique, inspiring, and inclusive literature with readers of all ages.
In this deeply moving story, Echeverría traces her path from Chile to Canada, from exile to belonging. Weaving personal memory with political history and profound cross-cultural friendships—especially with Mohawk War Chief Ateronhiatakon (Francis Boots)—she reimagines identity beyond borders and bloodlines. With humor, rage, tenderness, and clarity, she explores what it means to be uprooted, to listen deeply, and to find kinship in unexpected places. A compelling account of resistance, remembrance, and radical hope.
Praise for Native Immigrant
“Rich and fast-paced, this story moves like a thriller. It’s an eye-opener on social injustices and untold truths, told through the biography of a main character who is both funny and deeply compelling. Set between Chile and Canada, the book lays bare the ongoing struggles of Indigenous peoples. The narrative is powerful—I can easily see it becoming a suspenseful film.”
—Michele Setton, Former Canadian Lawyer and Immigration Judge
“Echeverría teaches how to build bridges -- between the north and the south, between cultures and languages, between biological and chosen families. Her memoirs give hope that transcending differences is not only possible, but that in the process of trying lies the ultimate gift: a sense of belonging. Reading this book is food for the heart and soul.”
—Geneviève Dorais, Professeure d'histoire à l'Université du Québec à Montréal
