Rating: 3 / 5

Rating: 1 / 5
Talk about a page turner! This isn’t one of those books. If you’re looking for a super-sleeper, this is your book! Kevin, this book was really bad

I read this book after reading Velma’s “Coming of Age” book. It’s a great tale of 2 Native older women that resonates with modern society. Highly recommended for adult and young readers.
Rating: 5 / 5
