“This complex, well-written debut will resonate with young people .
. . A great coming-out novel with Native American protagonists;
recommended for all teen collections.” —School Library Journal,
02/18
“Complex, vulnerable emotion is embedded within the specificity of
the writing in this dramatic prose debut. Jones avoids clichés of
reservation life, humanizing the stories of how his people
reconcile the trauma of suicide, missing family members, same-sex
relationships, and the isolation of a community left to fend for
itself. A touching story that has been a long time coming for the
Indigenous community.” —Kirkus Reviews, *starred review,

"A stunning debut. If you loved the movie Fire Song, get ready to
swoon over this movie-to-novel adaptation. The tension, beauty,
desperation, hunger for someone, hunger for yourself, a family at
the crossroads and a highway that's calling--it's all here.
Completely riveting. Completely compelling. Adam Garnet Jones, I
would follow you and your characters anywhere. Bravo! A literary
and unforgettable masterpiece."—Richard Van Camp, author of THE
LESSER BLESSED
“A powerful, challenging book that is full of deeply meaningful
turns as it boldly encourages living life to the best of one’s
abilities.” —Foreword Reviews, 04/01/18
