This book was a great collection of short stories. I loved how the characters all varied and that it wasn't all about Indians living in Wyoming. The main characters were very diverse in likeability, relatability, and status (socioeconomic, immigration, and the like). I will actually get to meet McConigley, and can't wait to hear more of her input and inspiration on the book. Everything was very interesting.
Just as a friendly warning, there were some stories that dealt on racism, rape, child abuse, and other sensitive topics, though not in great detail. I will probably over tag everything just to make sure that nobody gets taken by surprise. It really is a great book and I'm glad I read it. But I don't want anyone getting triggered by accident.
