“Kindness is something that seems small, Daunis, but it’s like tossing a pebble into a pond and the ripples reach further than you thought.“. Loved this book!  The writing is really done well.  The characters are developed and complicated.  And there were no easy answers or convenient endings.  “It’s hard to reconcile not liking, even despising, parts of someone you love.  Is it possible the heart can expand to hold love as well as all the complicated emotions?”  I also learned a ton about the Ojibwe tribe in Michigan!  “Wisdom is not bestowed. In its raw state, it is the heartbreak of knowing things you wish you didn’t.“. Definitely worth reading!  5 stars
