They balance each other out in a way that only sisters can. Where Perry is relaxed, Pauline is anxious. Where Perry is bullheaded and confident, Pauline is straitlaced and plays by the rules. Perry’s sister Pauline is the complete opposite of her and the differences between the two balance each other out in the perfect way. What will keep you reading (aside from wanting to know who the murderer is and how the heist ends) are the side characters. The back half of the story doesn’t outright feel like it fits with the first half, but there are a few threads that do end up tying them together. It’s incredibly insightful and eye-opening.įrom there, we’re led into a murder mystery focused around Perry’s family, followed by indigenous women suddenly going missing, followed by a heist plot to return twelve indigenous remains back to the tribe. While you don’t read about it alongside Perry, she gives you an in-depth, detailed few pages about it, so your anthropological heart will be happy… And also sad just how many loopholes tribes have to jump through to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs. It’s a federal law that allows tribes to request the return of ancestral remains and sacred items. Perry’s first task in her new internship is to read a book on NAGPRA, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. What may be a little off-putting for readers is how technical it is to start. It starts with Perry wanting to have a relaxing, laidback summer of fishing and hanging with her family, but that comes to a crashing halt (pun intended) when she wrecks the Jeep she shares with her sister and her mother forces her to join the tribe’s summer internship program. The plot isn’t as tight as in The Firekeeper’s Daughter, but it will keep you guessing. You do get to see Daunis again, all grown up and working through her place in the world, but the focus is on one of her twin nieces, Perry Firekeeper-Birch.
