This book will take your breath away with its truth-telling. A searingly honest memoir of food, weight, self-image, and learning how to feed your hunger while taking care of yourself.

Honoring Native American Heritage Day with a spotlight on three powerful stories by Native authors: To the Moon and Back by Elliana Ramage, Looking for Smoke by K.A. Cobell, and Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley.

Each of these books offers a vivid, moving look at love, community, identity, and truth — and reminds us how essential Native voices are to the heart of our bookshelves.

We hope you pick up one of these stories today (or add them to your #TBR) and take a moment to celebrate the brilliance and depth of Native storytelling.
