I've had this book on my radar for a long time, but finally was in the mood to read it. It's a memoir, but more like a series of interconnected essays. Toni Jensen tells her stories, as well as the story of Indigenous people in America and just the world around us. At times, it was a difficult read because of the nature of the stories, but they were all so well written and pertinent to what's going on today and what's gone on since America came to be. Highly recommend it.
