Stunning. Might have to reread. Part in audio, partly kindle version. The way Orange uses words and language is just brilliant.

it's about people, what it means to be Native in the United States, in Oakland, what it means when you are from Oakland and how you carry it with you, it's about addiction and inherited trauma, and people being people. I'm glad for this series.
