“I’m reminded that our Elders are our greatest resource, embodying our culture and community. Their stories connect us to our language, medicines, land, clans, songs, and traditions. They are bridge between the Before and the Now, guiding those of us that will carry on in the Future.”

This has been on my radar for quite a while but it always looked a bit chunky on my shelf. It’s pacing however makes it read as easily as a book half its size.

It’s a real page-turner… I learned so much about Native American culture… There are several strong, beautiful and fiercely protective female characters… I really enjoyed this one ❤️
