A Moving Story

I have to admit, I almost didn't finish this story. It's a heavy topic. This story deals with rape, but has a beautiful tale of forgiveness woven in. It was a little hard to read, the time kept changing, going back several years, then forward several years, then back and forth. You get to read from multiple peoples POV which was a nice change, to see the same story through so many different perspectives. The ending had me in tears. The whole story was heavy, sad, without the happily ever after. But it was written in such a way it felt... real. It was more like reading a biography in some ways than fiction. The author did a great job of really showing you what happened back then to the Native Americans. The main character Maang-ikwe, led a sad life. After what happened to her I felt she made selfish choices, not thinking of how it affected those around her. I really just wanted to see her happy, to live a good life. Or really, just anything happy to happen in the story. I did enjoy how every character would look at their hardships but then turn around and look at their blessings in life and focus on those instead. All in all, like I said this was a heavy topic to deal with, rape, the mistreatment of the Native Americans, and more that I won't go into for fear of spoilers. But I do think it was well written, and really gives you a good look into the past. *I received this book for my honest review. All opinions are my own.* *Disclaimer: This story went too far into the details of married intimacies for me.
