Where They Last Saw Her by Marcie R. Rendon

4.0

This book is a gut punch. It’s very good, super compelling but horrifying. Horrifying because it (or something like it) is happening every day. I had only picked up the book because I loved the authors Cash Blackbear series. This is set today and focuses on the experience of one small reservation community outside of Duluth. The depths of the impact of the generational trauma so many indigenous populations have to deal with are so stark. Add the fear and destruction that have happened from horrible people in the working camps and it’s just tough to read. It’s important though because looking away from a fictional story makes it easier to ignore the real stories all around. It’s very well done and I recommend it.

I received a copy from NetGalley and the publisher to review.
