This book tells about a meth operation that is taking over a Native American community and killing teens. It is told from on female teen’s point of view as she tries to figure out what is going on in her community and who she can trust. She helps to show the readers the difficulties of not only being a female, but being Native American and of mixed race and how the discrimination makes life so much harder. I learned a lot about some of the history of these communities and why they do not trust outsiders and the government, they have been hurt and forgotten so many times.
