Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is relevant in the news today, rightfully so with the staggering statistics of racism, indifference, and the lack of historical pursuit for justice. This novella is fictionalized accounts of what our Native American women and girls lived through and died by the hands of assailants of all backgrounds that think indigenous women are invisible.

Eighteen-year-old recent high school graduate Ivy Lancaster now has some negatives to add to her blonde hair, suede blue eyes, alabaster skin, and svelte body. She's recently started rapid-cycling through manic and depressive episodes that leave her with guilt, embarrassment, and shame. Ivy now wakes up, looks around, and doesn't recognize evidence of what she's been up to for the last 24 hours. Add to that the fact that she's obsessed with a recent, local murder of one of her classmates.

Noxious peers. Worse high school. Embarrassing moments. Danger lurks. Young love. Reality? What happens to one on an unraveling journey? And what is it like to question one's own sanity? Adria is a high school junior with a penchant for painting and a clear goal: hide the changes from anyone and everyone lest being called mad by noxious peers at the travesty known as high school (post-secondary classes).

Prologue to an Epitaph is an exciting, moving account in which the author relays a compelling narrative from four different viewpoints - the diametrically opposing perspectives of a neonatal intensive care unit nurse, the teen mother, her younger brother, and the preemie herself. 

Spirit Pass tackles an all-too-real issue that gets all-too-little attention - the disappearances of young women on Native American reservations. This concept alone ensures plenty of emotion for the piece and the novel does a good job of showing the full scope of those affected. This is especially poignant when we see old friends Agnes and Bernice, who find themselves possible rivals following Claudia’s murder. That there are so many suspects for this killing is also a nice touch - this keeps us on our toes and guessing until the reveal in the climax. 

The subject of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls fails to get the attention it deserves. Facts show that Native American women and girls are twice as likely to be assaulted than any other race, and their third leading cause of death is injury. And out of nearly 6,000 missing and murdered cases, just shy of 200 are in the national law enforcement databases. We need to do something about this epidemic.
