challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Incredible, heart-breaking story of the greedy murders of the Osage people perpetrated by white settlers. I couldn’t put this book down. I’m sad, angry, and frustrated at the horrors that this country continues to cover up. Every American should read this and reckon with the trauma we inflicted on so many.
