"We'll always be here"
That is the perfect final sentence in Moon of the Turning Leaves.
Indigenous story telling is almost always heartbreaking yet the resilience of the Indigenous community is something to be admired.
This story picks up 12 years after Moon Over the Crusted Snow (and yes you should read that first to understand some of the backstory). 12 years after the world went dark and everything changed for their community Evan and his team of 4 are on the move once again to find a new settlement and more people. Anishinaabe people. They encounter good and evil along the way and their journey is not an easy one.
The descriptions of the naming ceremony, the burial rituals, the sweat lodge and the land and water were so vivid I felt like I was in the novel.
Excellent, excellent book. A great deal to be learned from this book.

Years after the events of Moon of the Crusted Snow, the survivors need to try and find their people a new place to live.
This was a fantastic sequel. It was like a simmering pot, slowly getting hotter. It was vivid and beautifully written. I enjoyed it immensely.
