Where They Last Saw Her by Marcie R. Rendon
4.0

Quill lives on a reservation near Duluth, MN. She loves to run and one day, while running in the woods, hears a woman’s scream. She knows that native women go missing at much higher rates than anyone else, often never to be heard from again. She reports it to the tribal police, but goes back to the woods where she finds a beaded earring. Using it as a clue, she embarks on a journey to figure out who she is and where she has gone.

The writing is simple and the storyline intriguing, especially because it takes place in northern Minnesota. I learned more about native women and the problem of white men (specifically pipeline workers) trafficking Native women.
