Her friends Punk and Gaylyn are two women who don’t know what it means to quit; her loving husband\, Crow\, and their two beautiful children challenge her to be better every day. So when she hears a second woman has been stolen\, she is determined to do something about it—starting with investigating the group of men working the pipeline construction just north of their homes. \nAs Quill closes in on the truth about the missing women\, someone else disappears. In her quest to find justice for all of the women of the reservation\, she is confronted with the hard truths of their home and the people who purport to serve them. When will she stop losing neighbors\, friends\, family? As Quill puts everything on the line to make a difference\, the novel asks searing questions about bystander culture\, the reverberations of even one act of crime\, and the long-lasting trauma of being considered invisible.
