The story follows an 18 year old Native American girl dealing with both political and socio-economical issues in her life. She straddles the lines of not quite dark enough & not quite dark enough which continually makes her doubt her own identity. When she gets dragged into undercover operation dealing with drugs on the reservation and in the local hockey club, things get out of hand really fast.
Daunis struggles with who she is, and who she wants to be all the while discovering along the way that the people she loves and those she thought she knew, were entirely different people.
I enjoyed the book, and while it slowed down in some parts, it was eye-opening to see how Native American people can sometimes be viewed by outsiders and the pressure that comes from that as well as the pressure that comes from within the community itself. I loved how strong Daunis was in the face of every obstacle and how determined she was to find the truth, but honor where she came from.
