Firekeeper's Daughter is a TH title available in print, eBook, eAudio, and CDB. It is a fast paced thriller that follows Daunis Fontaine, who is part Ojibwe, as she is recruited to be a confidential informant by the FBI to help combat a growing meth problem in her community. It is full of amazing details and descriptions of Ojibwe culture, customs, and language. If you're an audiobook fan, I highly recommend the audio so you can fully experience the Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) used throughout the book.
Firekeeper's Daughter was recently optioned by Netflix as a limited series and will be produced by Higher Ground Productions, the Obama's production company. It was selected as the spring 2021 title by Reese Witherspoon's book club. It also comes highly recommended by Debbie Reese of American Indians in Children's Literature.
I am looking forward to Reading Globally resuming, and this book sounds really good. I hope a lot of staff are able to join us.
