"That silence got so big and real that it felt like three people sat on the porch." (49:17).
"When anybody, no matter how old they are, loses a parent, I think it hurts the same as if you were only five years old, you know? I think all of us are always five years old in the presence and absence of our parents." (3:39:02).
"He may not have loved me perfectly, but he loved me as well as he could." (4:28:33).

It was an okay read. Definitely quick and easy to read. I liked the exploration of what it means to be Native American and how the individual is always struggling with the community. There was some stuff that was uncomfortable—I can see why it’s a banned book—and some issues I wish were addressed better than they were, but overall it was an enjoyable read.
