I read this book all in one sitting. I could not put it down. I was born and raised in Northern Minnesota. Reading the Ojibway words, the PowWows, the talk of the ladies, brought memories of my childhood flooding back.
The book is multi layered and there is so much depth that it is hard to describe exactly how this book touched me.
The story is of two little girls, Rain and Azure. Their mother, Loretta, gave them to the County because she could not take care of them.
Rain and Azure's story is told by them, relatives, and even their mother.
From foster home to finally getting a good home with relatives, their story is a must read for anyone living in Indian country.
I thought that the author did a great job with making the story female dominant, writing some in Ojibway and talking about recognized and unrecognized tribal members.
Overall a great book!
