Sisters of the Lost Nation
by Nick Medina
Worth the Read (10/31/2022)
I looked forward to reading a book about the issue of missing native American women/girls. This book did not disappointment.
The author took on this critical social issue and added native American folk lore (some great stories) and issues facing teenagers to include wanting to fit in and the cruelness directed at those who don't. The relationship of a family in crisis to include the two sisters was current and real.
I was a bit confused by the organization of the book when I began reading the book--use of days and time that skips around. I made a few notes of names and events and soon the story made great sense by blending events leading up to the disappearance of the girls with the actual hours and days following the disappearance. Overall, I think this format added to the depth and understanding of the story and the characters.
An excellent read about social issues that have long been ignored, told about a part of society many of us don't know and that led me to wanting to know more.
