Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley
5.0

I really enjoyed this modern look into what is still happening on Native American reservations. (Their history is not just the past, it's also the present)
Daunis is a half white/half Ojibwe 18 year old, who instead of heading to college, stays to help her mother with her dying grandmother.

She meets Jamie and gets pulled into being a CI. There is a meth ring and she's going to help figure out who's doing it.

I loved Daunis. She is strong and smart. I love that she embraces both of her heritages . I love Auntie, she made me laugh! I feel so bad for the outcome is everything and for the betrayal that Daunis must feel. I love learning about her Ojibwe culture.
