A review by nothingforpomegranted
Whiskey Tender by Deborah Jackson Taffa

4.0

A fascinating memoir of a Native woman whose parents cared deeply about her assimilation and success while also prioritizing culture. Aspects of the memoir felt a bit repetitive and the pace was slow, which dragged a bit during the middle portion of the book. I appreciated the stories and the detail, and it was powerful to learn about a culture that is generally unfamiliar to me.
