The writing style just wasn’t working for me. Felt almost…like it was written for people who don’t want to deal with style beyond short and simple.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
🫑
this was super intense and provocative. it brought awareness to an issue I had maybe heard about before but knew nothing about in addition to being a good story as well.
the writing style was a bit stilted/awk descriptions occasionally for me but otherwise the audio was great!

Training for the Boston Marathon is not an easy task. Where can you find a long path that is safe and free of obstacles?
Quill was living on a reservation in the northern area of Minnesota near Duluth. She was three miles on her run in a wooded area when she heard a woman’s scream. This set the pace for the book where Quill was now obsessed to find out what happened to this person. Was she alive or dead?
The statistics were familiar: over 5,000 Native women have been documented as missing or murdered with trafficking as a huge problem. Women have been drugged, raped and taken to the Duluth harbor ships never to be seen again.
Quill was happily married to Crow with two adoring children. Her husband wanted her to stay safe at home but she needed to help her women friends and she couldn’t stop trying to search for those that were missing. Plus, she had to keep training for the big race.
The pace is quick and the plot is dark and tense. There were enough hints in the story to predict the outcome. However, the message was clear: something must be done to help the Native women that are missing and this book is thought-provoking and stays in your head. Running long distances helped Quill and her friends with the anxiety they faced. This would be an excellent topic for book clubs.
My thanks to Bantam and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book with an expected release date of September 3, 2024.
