The Missing Morningstar: And Other Stories

Holly says: This debut collection of stories published by Torrey House Press (one of my favorite publishers for authors writing in and about the west) captured my attention from the first page. Spanning the Navajo Nation and beyond, each story delivers a strong sense of place and sharp writing. I kept finding myself repeating lines aloud and admiring how Denetsosie weaves words together to paint a vibrant picture. Her stories grapple with everything from colonial legacy to fertility, gender fluidity to family and heritage. There’s something here for nearly any reader.
