The Courage to Exist in Daylight
A powerful, voice-driven story about overcoming grief, complex mother/daughter relationships, Native American issues, and modern mixed-race identity issues.
Mary-Claire is born a "half-breed" to a white father and Native American mother. As a young adult preparing for days-long burial ceremonies for her mother, she reflects on her identity issues growing up on the Rez, her volatile home life below the poverty line, how her mother's addiction escalated, and how to break the cycle.
