That thing where you finish a book and immediately add all of the author’s other books to your TBR. Short, sweet stories of love for individuals, for land, for peoples, for envisioning what stories come next.

Fascinating and emotional collection of reflections and descriptions of Leanne's culture. Shocking, heartbreaking and meaningful. Impossible not to relate to the characters.
