Why read it?
1 author picked Hearts Unbroken as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of the best Native books I’ve ever read. As a white-passing Native who lived away from the tribe, I really identified with Louise Wolfe’s experience as one of the few Native families in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. Lou’s struggle against racism on a macro and micro scale is relatable, and the story is wonderfully rewarding. It's a must-read.
From Christina's list on Native romance by Native authors.
