For June 27 we are reading The Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley, also a murder mystery but much more of a thriller as well as a realistic look at Native American life. The journey of 18-year-old Daunis Fontaine is told in four parts overlaid by the four directions of Ojibwe medicine wheel teachings. In the wake of family tragedy, Daunis becomes an informant for the FBI as they investigate a deadly new drug. As Booklist points out, "Boulley, herself an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, writes from a place of love for her community and shares some key teachings from her culture, even mixing languages within the context of the story. She doesn't shy away from or sugar-coat the very real circumstances that plague reservations across the country, and she tackles these through her biracial hero who gets involved in the criminal investigation into the corruption that led to this pain. An incredible thriller, not to be missed."
