a narrative that weaves together a young woman’s coming of age, a native reservation’s fight against it’s disbandment by the us government, a mystery around the young woman’s missing sister, love stories, spirituality and tradition, all in a way that lets the different elements highlight each other. i loved this book.

I enjoyed how the many different threads of this story worked together, and I enjoyed most of the characters. It was very interesting to see the different characters' perspectives on happenings based on real events. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by the author, and that was a pleasant experience. It is slice of life with a lot of dark parts, but also a lot of light and hope, with bio families, found families, and communities standing together.
