I really enjoyed listening to this book via @Libro.fm's Educator ALC program. I was engaged in the story from the first and also it was very informative about MAGRA (sp?) and how museums have appropriated Native American ceremonial objects and human remains and then refused to return them to the communities even today. The book also tackles the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. It is really hard not to compare this to Firekeeper's Daughter, and I did think that the ending and reveal of the mystery was a little less developed and had less hints leading up to it. Highly recommend for high schoolers and adult readers who can handle the heavy content.

I loved Firekeeper’s Daughter and was excited for this novel about Perry Firekeeper’s-Birch. I wasn’t disappointed. Boulley educates readers on NAGPRA and MMIW while weaving a mysterious and thrilling tale. I couldn’t put it down and found pieces of myself in most of the characters. It was a window and a mirror read.
