I listened to this on audiobook for my summer reading challenge at my local library. It was raw, vulnerable, and heartbreaking look at indigenous lives in America. I liked how the stories were all intertwined. You could really see the role intergenerational racism and trauma plays in the characters' lives. I didn't love the openness of the ending.
