This book is a terrifying and intimate perspective of Native American women and their struggle to be safe, seen, and heard. It gives the reader a place to understand the ungoing movement around Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. It is beautifully written in a way to understand the topic from several angles, the generational effects, and entire communities. It also brings in the archetypes of the abusers and perpetrators. It is a diverse and spellbinding story on a topic that many more people need to be aware of and help bring down.
One of my favorite things that has been said about the abuse that women endure and the men who want to be involved in fixing it is to not avenge a rape, but prevent one. It can be done and this book shows a way toward doing so.
