An un-put-downable saga of the raw strength it takes to live in the Californian desert while trying to find the mother that left you in the hands of your grandmother and the local cult.
Edgy, harsh, but still beautiful. Godshot is a must read!

I hope this isn't the first Netgalley review for this book. Judging by the Goodreads rating, I'm firmly in the minority opinion here. The book is well written, and I liked the flawed and well-rounded characters, but I'm to the point where I cringe when I see a book described as "feminist" simply because of how often that translates to "terrible things happen to women, and they might have a few victories and eventually get to show their strength, but mostly it's just a series of bad things happening to them over and over." I'm clearly in the minority here based on the other reviews, but it's like the Lifetime Movie paradox. Lifetime was "television for women," but you could almost guarantee that any time you turned it on, you'd be seeing something awful happening to a woman. I'm burnt out on reading books like that.
