When a book stays with you, you know it is well written. I thought about the characters (and missed them) long after the book ended. It is a heavy subject, but still has much hope within it.

God, this story. This shines a light on an important but also devastating piece of history, and I’m equal parts heartbroken and incensed by the lives that were affected by this. Rill Foss has my heart and her story will stick with me for a long time.

Some parts felt too long while the ending felt rushed. Not in love with the book but appreciate the story and lessoned learned by the characters.
