pickThis is a pick for the importance of the subject matter - the crisis of crimes against indigenous women. #MMIW
There were aspects of the writing I found distracting, but that is a quibble that pales against the importance of raising awareness.
pick“How the hell did we survive this long? she asked herself. How did our ancestors survive the broken hearts of children gone? Parents murdered? We have lived with losing loved ones for century after century. And we still have babies and keep loving. This love will break my heart.” This book is suspenseful, heartbreaking, and powerful. A story about #MMIW and the bystander effect. “It is a present-day, on-the-edge-of-trauma reality.”
pick3rd in the series. Each book deals with a mystery and Cash discovering who she is after such a traumatic childhood. This book is dedicated to #MMIW and #stolenchildren.
I hope to read more of Cash Blackbear.
#Justice, episode 8 of TNG, was not the way to make viewers start to care about Wesley. It went down from there for Wes. And the handkerchief bikinis... Well. Yeah. @Megabooks #startreksummermay #day2
Rather lets remember that thousands of Indigenous women are still murdered and missing, that Indigenous women are still going missing. We need #justice for them. #mmiw
I've completed my GoodReads challenge. 52 matches my book count last year. I read 8 graphic novels with crucial themes this year. Betty touches my heart the most because Betty wanted to be a teacher. The missing and murdered Indigenous women inquiry is losing hope. Canadian politicians should read stories to understand how systemic oppression is killing Indigenous women. #MMIW
