This is an incredibly poignant debut. The way time jumps allow us to understand how Dee was shaped by his upbringing on the Rez, and how we are able to look at little David knowing how pieces of his life turn out, was extremely effective narrative tool. The whole cast of characters was incredibly well developed and I felt like I could so clearly picture the scenery and settings.
