This was one of my first buddy reads, and I'm so glad I did it. This book follows a girl who is living in two different worlds. Her mother is from a wealthy white family living near the nearby Ojibwe reservation, and her dad is from the Firekeeper family from the Ojibwe tribe. The description of this novel really does a good job of explaining what this is about without giving away any spoilers, so I'll just say that I loved almost everything about it. I gave it 4.5 stars on my rating system, but that means a 5 star over here. It is a book full of challenge and the despair in the unequal treatment of native individuals. It's also a book about hope and about holding onto the ways of the ancestors at the same time as living into the future. Daunis is a great character and I would love to read even a novella about how things turn out for her in the future.
