Let's NOT forgot the Native American Indians submitted by LVDS on August 22, 2020, 5:08pm Bittersweet short stories that initially seem independent. Then weave together to tell tales we don't often hear, yet we need to know and help them!!
Some rough language, yet they are honest about their rough lives. ALL lives matter!

Still here and still relevant submitted by lizzhuntley on August 29, 2020, 8:50am This was a phenomenal story, masterfully woven together. As you learn more about the characters, you discover how they are all inevitably connected by past tragedies and united by a future one that looks on the horizon of every page. I highly recommend the audiobook version, which brings native voices to life.
