“‘My story is like a falling star,’ I said as we watched a small universe blaze and fall from the sky. ‘That star was a person. It was a being of fire that laughed and cried. Someone is missing that star in the sky. The star’s lover is bereft, calling its name.’ As I spoke, I realized that I did not want to be alone beneath the eternal sweep of the sky.”
“I often painted or drew through the night, when most of the world slept and it was easier to walk through he membrane between life and death to bring back memory. I painted to the music of silence. It was here I could hear everything.”
“There are many doorways in our lives. Some are small and hidden in the ordinary. Others are gaping and obvious, like the car wreck we walk away from, meeting someone and falling in love, or an earthquake followed by a tsunami. When we walk through them to the other side, everything changes.”

This is a very different type of memoir. It's very poetic. It flows in an interesting, kind of dreamy way. There is a general chronological arc, but it also feels like a collection of stories from her life because of the way some are kind of tangentially inserted between others.
I like the insight into her beliefs and the struggles of Native Americans, especially Native women.
Overall a beautiful, though heartbreaking read.
