Wandering Stars is a beautifully written novel that examines the effects of trauma on generations of Native Americans. Beginning with the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre and ending in present day Oakland CA, Tommy Orange deals with many difficult themes. This is not an easy read, but such an important book from an essential voice. It should be read by all.

Enchanting and impossible to put down. A perfect blend of history, myth, mystery, and romance. Duel story of a fox woman seeking revenge for the death of her child and a elder detective searching for clues to the mysterious death of a young woman. Lots of food references and heartfelt romance too which made it even more enjoyable.

My new favorite Kristen Hannah novel! Hannah is an incredible story teller, diving her reader directly into the action, and The Women is no different. This was my first time reading a piece of fiction set during the Vietnam war and I learned so much about the experience of the soldiers and the women who risked their lives for the cause of democracy. Heart wrenching, exciting, and beautiful, this newest Hannah will not disappoint.
