A really well done and engaging memoir retelling a life filled with pain, hardship, and triumph. I highly recommend this read, but it comes with strong content warnings for alcoholism, drug use, child abuse, rape, assault, homophobia, racism, torture, domestic abuse, child death, and other content that may be difficult for some readers.

A gorgeous book. It has a lot going on in it but, ultimately, it's an uplifting story of a woman coming into her own and discovering herself. It's never too late to come out as queer.

3.0

This is a traditional autobiography, detailing Ma-Nee’s life from birth to the present. It does not solely focus on her two-spirit journey, though that is included. There is a lot of abuse she reveals. I had to walk away from the book a time or two. But it is a valuable account of the life of a two-spirit, undereducated, financially poor, visually-disabled elder.
