I will leave this book unrated. Incredibly written, painfully dark, and intensely important. Please check the trigger warnings before reading.

I loved this book. Heartbreaking and devastating but rich. I loved to learn about the perspective of Indigenous people and generational trauma. **Check trigger warnings before reading***
