Spring, 1875, in the Cherokee Nation West. A baby, a black hired hand, a bay horse, a gun, a gold stash, and a preacher have all gone missing. Cherokee America Singer, known as "Check," is not amused: one of her sons is caught in a compromising position that results in murder; a neighbor disappears; another man is killed. Tensions mount and violence escalates as Check's mixed race family, friends, and neighbors come together to protect their community-- and painfully expel one of their own.

This book, for all the hype, did not hold my attention. I struggled to read it, and to connect with the storyline.
DNFI kept trying to get through an arc of this and it just really wasn't clicking for me and then I remembered that I had struggled with her previous book [b:Maud's Line 22859407 Maud's Line Margaret Verble https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1412062759s/22859407.jpg 42427334] and really only finished it because of book club, and I had no social pressure to finish this one, so I'm not. DOBBY IS A FREE ELF.Fans of gritty historical epics or whatever will probably like this, and it's always great to have more #OwnVoices books about Native Americans, especially when a lot of other American historical fiction has uhh problematic portrayals of Native Americans. But it's just not for me!
