Read for my Indigenous Lit class. I think everyone should read this book. Informative, emotional, funny, captivating, lyrical, painful. A glimpse into the interconnected lives of Native people in Oakland with important discussions of identity and generational trauma. I’m surprised more people aren’t reading this!
