Who knew a Jenkins character study could burn this slowly and this brightly? I loved the deep exploration of identity through Rhine, and Eddy is a wonderful female main character. Rhine’s choice to pass as white and the repercussions of that choice and later ones cut deeply throughout this book. As with most Jenkins we also get some detailed history lessons all in the setting of an old west town. The audio narration by Kim Staunton is absolutely worth a listen as well!
