4.0

A generally well-written, emotional account of the long-ignored emergency of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada with a focus on Hwy 16 in BC, nicknamed the Highway of Tears. 

The structure of the book didn't always work for me and I would have liked to see a closer examination of the systemic issues at the heart of this genocide.
