The Book Group @The Bookmark will meet at the cafe at 9 Public Square to discuss “Firekeeper’s Daughter” by Angeline Boulley. Enjoy lunch or a snack while we discuss!

Boulley's debut novel is a groundbreaking YA thriller about a Native teen who must root out the corruption in her community. It has been selected as a Shelby County Reads book. Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother.

When Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, she is thrust into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars.

Books are available at the Shelby County Public Library. No membership needed to join the free group.
