This was so incredibly powerful and necessary. I will absolutely be buying the physical copy to re-absorb and annotate it.

This novel was a perfect odessy! The characters were so funny and the story was fast paced - you didn't want to put this book down. The Native American rep in this book was great, and Mose was a character I adored. Would read again, and such a beautiful plot and story.
