The author's note brought me to tears:
"There's an important distinction between writing about trauma and writing as tragedy. I sought to write about identity, loss, and injustice...and also of love, joy, connection, friendship, hope, laughter, and the beauty and strength in my Ojibwe community. It was paramount to share and celebrate what justice and healing looks like in a tribal community: cultural events, language revitalization, ceremonies, traditional teachings, whisper networks, blankets parties, and numerous other ways tribes have shown resilience in the face of adversity.
Growing up, none of the books I'd read featured a Native protagonist. With Daunis, I wanted to give Native teens a hero who looks like them, whose greatest strength is her Ojibwe culture and community. When making decisions for our tribe, we look seven generations ahead, considering the effort on our descendants. My hope is that, in sharing our Anishinaabeg experiences, Firekeeper's Daughter will have an impact on future generations."
Angeline Boulley, I think you did just that. Aho!

I loved it so much I devoured the audio book in one day on a road trip. Cannot wait to read more from the author.
