This is such an amazing and gripping story told in beautiful details and tiny moments. I can see why this won the Pulitzer and will definitely be exploring this author more.

this book was truly magical. beautifully written, it included so many intricate story lines following many themes of love, hope, the battle against termination and the US government, alcoholism, spirituality, human trafficking, the reality of living on a reservation, and many more. i wish i could reread it for the first time again to savor the words. highly recommend

Thinking about it weeks later, because these are not lives I knew about or could have imagined. Knowing it’s based on real peoples experiences here in the United States kind of blows my mind.
