Rendon, Marcie R.

This powerful, provocative novel humanizes the staggering statistics of thousands of Indigenous women who go missing or are murdered. This gripping story is for readers of Rendon’s Cash Blackbear series or Ramona Emerson’s books.

There’s a bleak tone in this emotionally intense follow-up to Girl Gone Missing. Rendon, an enrolled member of White Earth Nation, skillfully handles sobering social issues of stolen children and isolated young adults who feel loss. Recommend to readers of David Heska Wanbli Weiden’s award-winning Winter Counts.

Native American author Rendon's authentic story of a brooding, displaced young woman follows up Murder on the Red River and will appeal to readers looking for fresh voices and characters, as well as stories with a strong sense of place and historical atmosphere.
