But before they do

Bad Cree Lakota But before they doIn this gripping, horror laced debut, a young Cree woman's dreams lead her on a perilous journey of self discovery that ultimately forces her to confront the toll of a legacy of violence on her family, her community and the land they call home. When Mackenzie wakes up with a severed crow's head in her hands, she panics. Only moments earlier she had been fending off masses of birds in a snow covered forest. In bed, when she blinks, the head disappears.
