While some of the “teaching” that happens as Daunis shares Ojibwe culture throughout the book feels a little jolting, sometimes slowing the story, it’s also necessary in many ways to understand Daunis’s motivation and perception of what’s happening as she tries to protect her community from threats both inside and outside her tribe.
This coming of age story touches on the power of community and a sense of belonging, the impact of substance abuse on a community (specifically Native communities but also communities around the country), the continued victimization of (and subsequent lack of justice for) Native women and so much more.
While it had its flaws, this is another book I’ll be thinking about for a long time and recommending to anyone who’ll listen…and that warrants 4.5 ⭐️.
