There are a lot of serious subjects tackled in the book, such as the disappearance of Native girls being ignored by the police, anti-gay sentiments, child abuse, and victim blaming. When Feather's best friend Mia goes missing at the same place Carli did, she knows she HAS to find the killer, or nobody else will. When she is found dead, it is ruled a suicide despite there being marks showing some sort of struggle. However, nobody is willing to investigate, because she is deemed a "habitual runaway" because she goes to the rec centre sometimes. When Carli goes missing, Feather and Mia know that something bad must have happened to her. They get a bed at the rec centre, or stay by the riverbank where the other homeless sleep. Some of Feather's friends, Mia and Carli, go down to the rec centre some nights when they need to escape their home lives for a while. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in an exchange for an honest reviewįeather lives in Winnipeg, where there is a high amount of Aboriginal girls who go missing or are killed, and their cases are not investigated.
