Really lovely collection of short stories. After spending some time in Navajo Nation, reading this book taught me even more about their land and people. Really heart wrenching stories about the generational trauma of colonialism. 

Favorite stories: The Casket in the Backseat,  The Conception, Snow Bath Season, The Missing Morningstar
