This is my first fictional novel written by a Native American in 2022 and I’m glad I took a chance with this. I originally assumed it was a collection of short stories but then I realized they all were connected in some six degrees way. I enjoyed the history that was intertwined with the fictional stories, enlightening and educating me a lot more than a textbook could. I listened to most of this via audio & other portions just reading but I liked all of the chosen voice overs.
