Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What an excellent collection of stories! Some were very short, some were longer, but all were equally impressive. Amanda Peters is becoming an auto-read author for me. Each story was heartfelt and touched on Native stories from across time. Some were tragic, some were hopeful. All of them showed perseverance.

What a great writer Amanda is! I ate these stories up as I did her book and hope for many more to come. Loved every story in here. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher!

What an overall wonderful read. The stories spanned time, place, and Indigenous experience, and varied in length. I am not usually a short story person, mainly because I love getting to know characters throughout a novel, but so many of the characters and their stories that Peters crafted were intriguing and real enough to hook me in a short amount of time. While some of the stories grapple with darker storylines- residential schools, colonialism, drug addiction- others were so incredibly beautiful, especially those about love, family, and tradition. The heavier emotions some stories evoked were balanced with the joy and familiarity I felt from others. Niawen for this collection, Amanda!
