A sad and fascinating telling of genocide in Oklahoma that doesn't get taught in schools.
As if displacing Indigenous people from their land wasn't bad enough, this book will open your eyes to some of the atrocities committed against Native Americans.
This book is so interesting and important. I'm usually a mystery reader and will admit that after I found out who "did it," I couldn't quite understand why there were so many more pages left to read. Hang in there until part three, which will blow your mind and bring the whole story full circle.
