More about the book

Set against the backdrop of August 1969, two Ojibwe cousins, Sher and Kris, embark on a transformative journey from their reservation to Minneapolis with limited resources. Their adventure is deeply influenced by their ancestral ties to land, culture, and family, as they encounter diverse characters, including a gay Jewish boy and men seeking runaways. As they navigate challenges and seek freedom, the girls aim to redefine their destinies, culminating at the Minnesota State Fair, where they confront historical legacies and personal aspirations.
