I deeply admire Joy Harjo's writing and this memoir only increased my admiration.  There were moments that were heartbreaking, and many moments where I felt a connection and understanding with the author, despite never having experienced many of these hardships myself.  And often through the memoir, I was reminded just how similar our struggles and oppressions are even when we are from different communities.  The way the memoir was divided into four directions, North, East, South, and West, was so interesting.  I would pick up this book when you have the space to read about heavy topics.  While they aren't individually focused on, there are many traumatic and triggering events that are mentioned.
