Strong mixed blood Native women, non-stereotyped NDN characters, imaginative structure, beautifully written. I could go on. No leather and feathers here, no romanticism or facile answers, but real life and some hard truths.
I am Cherokee, read lots of fiction and poetry by Native American and other Indig writers and am always on the lookout for the next great Cherokee writer. With Crooked Hallelujah, Kelli Jo Ford fills the bill. If the book game is still in progress several generations from now, a lot of readers will have this on their classics shelf.
Moderate: Animal death, Domestic abuse, Sexual assault, Violence, Grief, and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Cursing, Drug use, and Death of parent
