Toronto, December 11, 2025 – Sue Kuruvilla, publisher of Random House Canada, is thrilled to announce the forthcoming publications of two new books from Michelle Good, the awardwinning and bestselling author of Five Little Indians, cementing a new publishing relationship with the imprint. Eliza Sunshine, the highly anticipated second novel from Good, will be published on August 18, 2026. Drawing on the real history of her own family, in Eliza Sunshine Michelle Good has created a powerful family saga of three generations of Cree women.
The story spans more than a hundred years, from Swan, who barely survived the slaughter of the buffalo and the decimation and displacement of her people through disease and colonial violence, to her granddaughter Eliza, who thought she’d sidestepped the obliterating force of residential school only to make life choices that distanced her from the teachings of her beloved Nokhum. And finally, to Eliza’s daughter Ella, who embraces her Cree ancestry and fights for Indigenous women who are still the target of sexual violence and murder.
