By the end, I was just crying and crying. I already know I like Louise Erdrich and I know to follow her jumping plots because they will eventually flow into each other. This alternate form of justice, atoning for the loss of a child by offering your own, makes for such an emotionally wound-up premise. I loved that we got to hear from the other siblings more, especially Maggie, and how they contended with being second in their mother's hearts.
