It was not what I was expecting, but one I'm still glad I picked up.
It tells the story of the dozens of indigenous women and girls who've gone missing in B.C. by their families in the long battle for not only justice but also to simply know what happened to their loved one.
It made me heart hurt over and over to hear how these girls and their families were so abandoned & abused by the system for years.
