The only thing that I didn't like was the pace in the first 20% of the book, but the payout was worth it! This is the story of a young girl who is trying to figure out who she is after something terrible happens to her father. She enlists her auntie Squeaker and best friend Debbie to help her figure out what happened to her mother, who disappeared when she was 2 weeks old. She is left with trying to figure out what happened to her mother and talk to people who her mother knew without the help of her father.
She runs into so many brick walls until she uncovers that the secret to her mother's disappearance may be related to something that has been plaguing Indigenous women since 1492. Not only is the MC able to learn about her own heritage, but she also learns that insidious people are not just strangers on the internet; they could be someone close to you!
