This one would be a great choice for a book club read.  The main character, although I am not indigenous, Kari has a relatable personality for anyone who has experienced deep trauma... and honestly that hooked me. Through the book her experiences unfold one by one-like the peeling of an onion. I wanted to keep reading and couldn't put it down. It's not a 5 star because I felt a few holes in the plot, but this is so worth reading.

Too much telling, not enough showing. I had a hard time disappearing into this story. But I loved a lot of aspects of it. It was sad. And I learned a lot.
