 - CALLING FOR A BLANKET DANCE tells the story of Ever over decades of his life and through the eyes of his relatives.
- The way the many voices of this book weave together is masterful. Each perspective gave more dimension and life not only to Ever but to everyone and everywhere in his life.
- It's alternately uplifting and heartbreaking, watching these characters hurt each other while struggling to break cycles of trauma, but ultimately coming together to try again because their love stretches back generations.

Oof.

My only issue was that we never really saw when/how Ever started making changes in his life/person, just that it was sometime after he got his check and before they had Baby Turtle.
