Absolutely great book! I hope the author writes more. There were a lot of characters in the book, but I had ones that I found the most interesting - Opal, her sister, Orville, and Blue. Opal is who really hooked more on the book. I, also, liked that the book focused on the Urban Indian rather than the Reservation. I liked the different perspective. This was a great pick for book club.
