The only reason this isn’t higher is because I had to skip the kitten scene. I feel that whole but could have been done in a different way and still been able to get the message across.

I almost stopped reading when

the mother killed the cat and her kittens

but I’m glad I pushed through. This was a beautiful and heartbreaking story.

Amazing character development. Enjoyed the writing style, the nature elements woven throughout and learning about Cherokee culture. 

Was a very difficult read at some points, but so raw and honest.

I would give 6 stars if I could. This is truly a masterpiece of a novel. I don't give 5 star ratings often (this is my second one this year), but this book was so moving and heart wrenching it deserved nothing less. My soul has been stomped on and my heart has been crushed.

The fastest 5 star review I’ve given all year. This book is devastating and beautiful, and I feel like I’m actually a different person after reading it. But please for the love of god read the trigger warnings.
