Intriguing and so heart wrenching in moments. Our history is full of things we need to remember so that we can just be better humans to each other.

DNF @ 30ish% - started reading for a work book club. I liked it well enough but not my favorite genre. Would definitely try another book by this author though.

4.5, I really enjoyed this story, especially its setting in the 1880s, which is the decade I focus on the most in my research.

I was looking for Native American fiction, but by native authors. This is told from the white perspective, and it seems like the story of residential schools is going to be told, it should be told by the survivors or those whose communities were impacted.

I liked what the book portrayed about how the white me tried to change Indian children, which failed. At times, this book moved very slowly.
