This was a hard book for me to read. While parts of it were very enjoyable and hard to stop reading, other parts were just boring to me. I found myself skimming past a lot of this story. The story of two young children being given into foster care by their mother was heartbreaking but also the best for the two baby girls. With the exception of some abuse that was barely touched on, when the girls were finally back with their people, their story was touching and very sad in parts.
It never tells what happened to the mother and the ending was very abrupt. I was expecting something to happen and it just ended. Maybe I missed something in previous books? It seems there were more books about this Indian tribe that may have made this book better. I have no idea. While I did enjoy parts of this book, overall it was just not my kind of story. The beginning was good, then it went into the many many lives of an Indian tribe and I got completely lost. I never get lost that way in a book. Then it goes back to the story of these two children and what they went through in foster care. I was so disappointed. I had thought this was going to be such a good book.
I am not saying don’t read it. It may be the perfect book for others but for me I didn’t care for all the details that were confusing to me and the foreign language that I had no idea what the words meant. I was lost. I do not like leaving a review like this. I honestly don’t. I love reading books that wow me. This one didn’t do that.
It’s only a 3 star book and that is the part of the two sweet little girls. The rest I just could not get into.
I won a copy of this book via Bookishfirst and via NetGalley and University of Minnesota Press in exchange for my honest review.
