Daunis Fontaine is a bi-racial, American eighteen-year-old, with a white mother and an Ojibwe father (deceased). She feels because of her mixed heritage that she doesn’t fit in with her white peers, nor the Sugar Island Ojibwe Tribe. She does love her tribal heritage and follows their customs and religion as an unenrolled tribal member.
Illegal drugs and drug-related deaths are rife throughout the indigenous community, so much so that the FBI is looking into it, including sending a young agent undercover who takes a liking to Daunis.
When Daunis witnesses a shooting, the agent, Jamie, manages to get her away from the scene before the police arrive and asks for her help in their investigation which is far wider than she could ever have imagined.
…Absolutely outstanding, complex, and eye opening. It shed light topics I knew very little about. I’m absolutely shocked this was a debut novel. I praise Angeline Boulley for this fantastic novel. The coming of age story is really one for the ages!!
