A Good Morning America Book Club Pick!

From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Firekeeper’s Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed comes a daring new mystery about a foster teen claiming her heritage on her own terms.

Ever since Lucy Smith’s father died five years ago; “home” has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a “ward of the state”. But when the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson with an interest in her case comes looking for her; Lucy wonders if hiding from her past will ever truly keep her safe.

Five years in the foster system has taught her to be cautious and smart. But she wants to believe Mr. Jameson and his “friend-not-friend”; a tall and fierce-looking woman who say they want to look after her. They also tell Lucy the truth her father hid from her: She is Ojibwe; she has – had – a sister; and more siblings; a grandmother who’d look after her and a home where she would be loved.

But Lucy is being followed. The past has destroyed any chance at safety she had. Will the secrets she's hiding swallow her whole and take away any hope for the future she always dreamed of?

When the past comes for revenge; it’s fight or flight.

Angeline Boulley's award-winning canon of books puts compelling characters and fast-paced action at the center of narratives rich in historical context. Read Firekeeper's Daughter; Warrior Girl Unearthed; and the soon-to-be-released Sisters of the Wind in any order; but like the world itself; there are echoes within each for the other stories.

“LaBlanc's narration propels this mystery with nonstop tension as listeners anticipate the meeting of the two time periods and hope for a satisfying resolution to Lucy's troubles.” — AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)

The connection to family and blood is sometimes needed to fill grounded

I’d like to thank the author for all the hard work put into the stories and the connection with the indigenous families and connection to the land in the peoples here on turtle Island.

stupendous and visceral listen

One of my friends posted her review as this book is a lot. And she's not wrong. Emotional gut punch. Could not put down. Mostly, because I kept hoping something would go well for Lucy. But instead it was just one more horrible thing after another. Ms. Boulley's writing continues to be stupendous and visceral. Characters that persevere. Stories that makes one think. Isabella Star LaBlanc's narration continues to amaze. While the books are loosely connected, I'd recommend reading FIREKEEPER'S DAUGHTER for context in Jamie and Daunis's story. My only nitpick is that the novel is set in 2009. The time setting kept distracting me at the beginning. 12/5 Stars. 

Beautiful story of resilience and heartbreak

An honest portrayal of how systems are rigged against Indigenous, women, children, and those without power or protection.

A supremely satisfying book!

Memorable characters and plot that educates and entertains. Kudos to the author, reader and publisher. Both beautiful and suspenseful.

Protect our indigenous children

This book tells a great story of what can happen when a Native American child is placed in a system even though they have family searching for them. This books talking about ICWA, protecting our culture and children because they are our future.
