Seriously, the family dynamics in this book are some of the best I’ve ever read. I love Maisie’s family SO much! Her stepfather, Jack, is brilliant, hilarious, strong, and so loving. He is a geoduck fisherman who knows a lot about Pacific Northwest history, and he loves to teach his kids about their ancestors, history, and culture. Her little brother is absolutely adorable, and her mother is great too. Her mother is Makah, her father was Piscataway, and her stepfather is Lower Elwha Klallam. They all have different last names, which is cool. I love the stories of how her mother met and fell in love with both Maisie’s father, who died when Maisie was a baby, and Jack. I also love how the parents care so much for their kids and are such good parents.
Overall, I loved this quietly poignant exploration of family and mental health.
