this is an emotional story that is told in a very caring way the way danielle wrote this was beautiful even if the story itself is heart wrenching it drew me in at the start and it drew tears at the end. when an author can make you feel such emotion and a connection with its characters you know their a good writer. these stories need to be told because every indigenous person deserves to have their ancestors stories told and theirs and especially the women and two spirited. i need everyone to read this to open their hearts and eyes and not only read an exceptional book but recognize that this may be fictional but it did happen the characters may be made up but these things have happened
