Booktalk: Moth has lost her family in an accident. Though she lives with her aunt, she feels alone and uprooted.
Until she meets Sani, a boy who is also searching for his roots. If he knows more about where he comes from, maybe he’ll be able to understand his ongoing depression. And if Moth can help him feel grounded, then perhaps she too will discover the history she carries in her bones.
Moth and Sani take a road trip that has them chasing ghosts and searching for ancestors.
Snippet:
Maybe moving forward in this car
will help fill in Sani’s emptiness.
Sani adjusts the rearview mirror.
We are leaving the First World,
the world of darkness (Ni’hodilhil)
where the Diné start their journey to the present.
