Beautifully written but brutal subject matter. This is maybe the first book I've read that had a content warning on the first page, which I really appreciated. Despite following a horrible sexual assault, this is a story about the bonds of family and Indigenous matriarchs.
Graphic: Sexual assault
Moderate: Racial slurs
