Hobson’s book on the other hand is a fictional account of a Cherokee family dealing with loss and ongoing trauma from the very real displacement of the Cherokee Nation, otherwise known as the Trail of Tears. Moving from a more academic text to this emotional and haunting display of what trauma can do to the body, families, and relationships was an incredible way to gain a more embodied sense of this history.

not my usual genre, so it took a bit for me to get into, but thats absolutely not the books fault. its a heartbreaking and great novel about a family navigating their grief after the death of their son/brother at the hands of a cop. it handles a lot of rough topics so tread carefully. if you're in any way interested, absolutely read it.
