Introspective, moving, and characteristically   candid, Wente uses his own life experiences to illuminate and explore the   controversial issue of false claims to Indigenous identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a lens of   healing and anti-colonial thought, Jesse examines his reaction to such   incidents that have hit close to home, chronicling his personal journey and   what it has taught him about the present and future of reconciliation in   Canada. Jesse’s healing path has also led him to reflect on other aspects of   his life, such as grieving the loss of his closest friends, the pressure to   succeed, the racism he has faced, and his own place within family and   community. Perhaps most surprising to Jesse is his re-discovery of the game   of golf and the role it plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproaching all of these moments and issues with   the same honesty, humour, humility, and directness that made \u003ci\u003eUnreconciled\u003c\/i\u003e such a beloved bestseller, \u003ci\u003eTough Lies \u003c\/i\u003edelivers another groundbreaking   memoir from one of Canada’s foremost thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eJESSE WENTE is a husband and   father, as well as an award-winning writer and speaker.
