A wonderful book, so deeply tragic and extremely harrowing, yet somehow heartwarming too. A story full of rich characters, best of all, young Betty, bruised by life, tender hearted yet fierce and resilient, I just loved her. The Appalachian setting and the Cherokee stories and traditions told by Betty's father came alive for me, I almost felt I was there. A warning though, this is a story that for some may hold many triggers, in fact probably all of them, it made me angry and it made me cry, but I loved it. Five fat shiny stars and many thanks to the author, the publishers and netgally for the arc.

Fine review Indie! I've seen the book come across my feed a time or two, but based on your words, I am adding.

Thanks Swaroop, indeed a wonderful book, one of those that stays with you ☺️.
Wonderful review. I've been eyeing this one up since I picked it up when it came out. It just hasn't made its way on to my current reading schedule but I think that's going to call for some serious adjustment.
