As a liberal American, I've always held up Canada as a liberal haven. Yet, the older I get, the more I see how it's marked by racism and colonialism. This is a heartbreaking book about only a few women and girls who have gone missing in Canada. This focuses on a specific highway, but it's a far reaching problem across the country. It gave me a lot of insight into the problem that hasn't changed much over the decades.
