4.0

Excellent short story collection that delves into generational and embodied trauma, maternal wounds, poverty, domestic violence, abandonment, disease, death, and story telling. The stories feature narratives of Latina women of Native American ancestry in the American West. My favorite was "Any Further West" with "Sugar Babies" and "Tomi" as close runners up. Some of the stories did, however, feel like they weren't completly fleshed out hence the 4.0 star rating.
