“We are Still Here.” It is a mantra repeated by Native Americans as a reminder that they are not people of the past but living, breathing, hurting, healing people. 

Vanessa Lillie reminds us of this in her suspenseful book Blood Sisters. Syd Walker left her town and family behind when she joined the Bureau of Indian Affairs and moved to Rhode Island. 

She is working on a #MMIW case when she gets called back home to deal with the nightmare she tried to leave in the past. As she faces the trauma of her past, her sister has gone missing. She is determined that Sister will not be another of the many missing women.

The books shines a light on topics such as the continued struggle of native peoples for land rights, the tragedy of missing and murdered indigenous women, and the drug epidemic while sending us on a journey with Syd to save her sister and herself.
