An absolutely heartwrenching and horrific look at the realities of economic and sexual violence against girls. This is a perfect book in that it will tear your heart out and absolutely destroy it. A beautiful and horrific gift to the girls, especially Native girls and girls of color, who will never know justice, who will remain nameless, who have been the victims of a sickening, overwhelming, and all-consuming lovelessness.
