Additional Information
Firekeeper's Daughter: As a biracial, unenrolled tribal member and the product of a scandal, Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in—both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When her family is struck by tragedy, Daunis puts her dreams on hold to care for her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother’s hockey team. After Daunis witnesses a shocking murder that thrusts her into a criminal investigation, she agrees to go undercover. But the deceptions—and deaths—keep piling up and soon the threat strikes too close to home. How far will she go to protect her community if it means tearing apart the only world she’s ever known?

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers overall praise this novel for its well-written and well-plotted narrative, with a particularly engaging final quarter that was described as "epic." The book's handling of themes like cultural identity, sexual assault, and drug use adds emotional depth, though some wished for a more direct emphasis on reporting sexual assault. Readers appreciated the authentic representation of Indigenous culture through a diverse set of characters, especially the protagonist's internal conflict between her indigenous culture and white family. Although the story's pace was occasionally slow, the realistic mystery and unique relationships kept readers hooked, emphasizing the novel's importance for its cultural diversity and emotional impact.
