This was an incredible book full of symbolism. With each page came honor for those past, voice to that which has been forgotten, and healing. The author gives a unique voice to each new character, providing new insight and connection to the story at large. It’s Ever’s story - but it’s also the story of each of us. Beautiful novel.

The change in perspective from chapter to chapter is an effective writing tool to provide a full understanding of the effects of intergenerational trauma.

Listened to this book during a long drive and it was superb! But it will 100% make you cry.
This follows the story of a Cherokee family and how they fall from their culture and are lead back to it by their elders abd community. It spans several generations and addresses the impacts of various forms of addiction on native families. It also addresses how addition can turn into abuse and how people can heal from the effects of both on their lives.
This book was beautifully written and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who's been impacted by addiction or abuse in their lives.

Compelling and deeply hopeful story. I think I would have benefited from reading a physical copy or maybe just having a family tree in front of me. I wasn’t always sure who in Ever’s family was the narrator at any given time.
