She doesn't shy away from the more "ugly" manifestations of long-term trauma, but never loses her sense of compassion or hope for change. This is a book that I think a lot of people can learn so much from, both about the struggles Indigenous peoples face as well as more general effects of trauma among marginalized populations and how we can meet people struggling with greater empathy and compassion. -Dorian R.
