This story is about Daunis who was born and raised in between two worlds and is set in 2004. She goes undercover to help the FBI investigate a lethal mix of meth. Turns out it's a lot more complicated and intense than she could have ever imagined.
Learning about the native Ojibwe tribal traditions, life and laws was pretty great and really interesting. I love it, when native languages are used and translated, which helps the reader learn.
What I didn't like and don't understand why it was necessary in an already tense book was the sexual assault.
