Wow, I was completely unprepared for this book. The storyline follows an indigenous community, weaving together lives of native and modern day culture. Like many neighborhoods in America today, a drug epidemic is slowly unraveling its members. And it is up to the main character to uncover its source. The writing style of the author gripped me from beginning to end, highlighting the many things I never knew about the ways native culture and the US government clash and intersect. I will definitely be reading more from this author!
