Episode 83: A Review: " Fire Keeper's Daughter" by Angeline Boulley

Welcome back!! Up Next is m Firekeeper's daughter by Angeline Boulley. The author describes her book as the "Indigenous Nancy Drew'' and the ladies agree! Her book covers issues such as citizenship, drug abuse, murder and sexual assult...along with some recurrent themes of the show like racism, and it's nasty little cousin colorism. The ladies try to unpack all of the many layers in the story with genuine interest, infused with humor. Find out if Moni or Kat related to the main character the most and why! Tune in for another fun episode. Trigger Warning: This episode contains spoilers, adult content & language.
