 Like a Phantom Limb... 

...this piece will stay with me forever.

Me (Moth) is a beautiful sweeping first-person narrative inverse. Its richness in both Hoodoo and Navajo (Diné) tradition and creation story give it critical depth. There are so many lines that spark beauty in the mind,
"Honey, you can keep me forever, like a phantom limb."

The tender connection between the main characters, Moth and Sani, will make you realize what you've been missing in your reads all this time. You'll find yourself tumbling with them as they whirl through myth, music, dance, and emotion on their solitary road trip - bringing you to a conclusion completely unseen.
