Where They Last Saw Her
by Marcie R. Rendon
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this book around more! I really enjoyed the story and I feel it will open a lot of eye. I feel the subject matter is important.
Quill is a young Native American wife and mother whose training to run the Boston Marathon. She and her family live on the Red Pine Reservation near Duluth MN. While running in the woods a few miles from home , she hears a young woman's ear piercing scream that immediately scares her. When she brings her husband Crow to the area where she heard the scream , all she finds is an earring. Quill then takes matters into her own hands when she uncovers that a young Native American woman has gone missing. She begins to suspect the woman was taken by the white men from mine camps that have popped up in the area to house pipeline workers. Along with her two friends Punk and Gaylin they have gone tired of the kidnapped and trafficked, the missing and murdered Indigenous women who never get the attention the white woman get and are determined to find the truth. When someone else disappears. In her quest to find justice for the women of the reservation, she is confronted with the hard truths of their home and the people who purport to serve them. When will she stop losing neighbors, friends, family? The novel asks searing questions about bystander culture, the reverberations of even one act of crime, and the long-lasting trauma of being invisible.
