I thoroughly enjoyed this informative and thought-provoking book.
I thought it would be a bit of a scary read but I didn't get that at all. There definitely was suspense but it wasn't as creepy as I anticipated. The writing was easy and had a good flow. Emotions came through, as did vivid imagery.
I am interested in learning more about Native American history and wish there was more on cultural ancestry. This book honors Native Americans, and specifically Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), who are so easily overlooked. The author shines light on the sad reality of disproportionate violence against Indigenous women without excusing links to poverty, historical injustice and more.
Following the narrative of the book, I appreciated the thoughtful discussion questions, and the great background information from the author.
