Acerca de esta escucha

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the award-winning author of the Cash Blackbear series comes a compelling mystery of a Native American woman who learns of the disappearance of one of her own and decides enough is enough.

“Rendon shows how harm done to a marginalized community can reverberate through generations [as] the novel hurtles toward a breath-robbing conclusion.”—The New York Times Book Review

WINNER OF THE MINNESOTA BOOK AWARD • A
WASHINGTON POST AND BOOK RIOT BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

All they heard was her scream.

Quill has lived on the Red Pine reservation in Minnesota her whole life. She knows what happens to women who look like her. Just a girl when Jimmy Sky jumped off the railway bridge and she ran for help, Quill realizes now that she’s never stopped running. As she trains for the Boston Marathon early one morning in the woods, she hears a scream. When she returns to search the area, all she finds are tire tracks and a single beaded earring.

Things are different now for Quill than when she was a lonely girl. Her friends Punk and Gaylyn are two women who don’t know what it means to quit; her loving husband, Crow, and their two beautiful children challenge her to be better every day. So when she hears a second woman has been stolen, she is determined to do something about it—starting with investigating the group of men working the pipeline construction just north of their homes.

As Quill closes in on the truth about the missing women, someone else disappears. In her quest to find justice for all of the women of the reservation, she is confronted with the hard truths of their home and the people who purport to serve them. When will she stop losing neighbors, friends, family? As Quill puts everything on the line to make a difference, the novel asks searing questions about bystander culture, the reverberations of even one act of crime, and the long-lasting trauma of being considered invisible.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Mystery writer Rendon, a citizen of the White Earth Nation, creates a compelling, take-charge heroine who is based on the women raising awareness about disproportionately high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous people.”The Washington Post

“Rendon’s book will break your heart, but it will also inspire and inform.”Kirkus Review, starred review

“Rendon masterfully navigates the histories of trauma and brutality that continue to exist within our Native communities, laying bare the truths of colonial violence and the continuing need for closure and justice in our homelands.”—Ramona Emerson, author of Shutter

Dear Listener,

What inspired me to write Where They Last Saw Her?
"I have been writing about missing and murdered Indian women (#mmiw) since at least 2014, after reading that First Nations women in Canada had compiled a list of victims’ names that was 90 pages, single-spaced. I counted out 90 sheets of typewriter paper and stared back at that stack, horrified. After, I wrote a poem titled “Say Their Names,” and now this novel. Where They Last Saw Her is about more than just the missing and murdered women. It is about the very real First Nations women who called international attention to this crisis, as well as all the Native women who have been at the forefront of various legislative movements to sound a battle cry to bring our relatives home. It is about Native women who take a stand to say, “not in my community, not to our women.” Much is written about historical trauma in Native communities. It is my hope that the three women of this story—Quill, Punk, and Gaylyn—will be recognized as the strong, resilient, loving, determined, sovereign individuals that I know the women of my community to be. Miigwech."– Marcie R. Rendon, writer of Where They Last Saw

FANTASTIC NON FICTION - FICTION

Wow this was a very powerful story. As a cis male and a father of a young teenage boy this story not only sheds light on how we treat indigenous women it highlights how society disregards women while at the same time falls over itself extending privilege to guys like me. Powerful story that inspires me to do better, be better, and father my son in a way to not commodiz women

I love this author’s Cash books and have been waiting a while for more stories. This one is set in the present day rather than the 1970s.

The rights and safely of women transcend cultures and this book emphasizes that First Nations women are vulnerable for many reasons. I love the glimpses of traditional culture in amongst cell phones and technology. Her description of Northern woods in winter is spot on. I felt I was there at times. The story is gripping and I binge listened with little time for sleep. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Quill’s quest for justice for an unknown woman, i found myself annoyed with her for failing to think ahead and curb her impulses. Her lack of trust is both her Achilles heel and her saving grace.

Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Where They Lost Saw Her by Marcie R. Rendon in exchange for an honest review. What an insightful book. I am so glad that we are getting more books, movies and TV shows that are shining a light on the Murdered & Missing Indigenous People. Laws really need to be fixed so that there are better investigations and that those responsible are held accountable. I grew very attached to Quill, family and her strength.

This is the first of Rendon’s books I’ve read. It’s an important and unfortunately all too real story. I’ll definitely be checking out some of her other books.

Great book about important issue

I have read all of Marcie R Reardon’s books and was anxiously awaiting the release of this newest audiobook. I am intrigued by Native culture, in fact I live in the mountains of northeastern Arizona on the New Mexico border where we are in the vicinity of 4 Native American Reservations. My favorite literary genre is mystery and Ms. Reardon has fast become one of my favorite writers in this category. Her novels are relevant, her characters are realistic, and her storylines are engaging.

This latest novel does not disappoint! It is brilliantly written with an exciting storyline and unexpected twists and turns. Thank you again Ms. Reardon! Please don’t make us wait too long for your next book.

Poignant Story…Worth the Wait!

Full disclosure: Marcie and I are in a writing group together. “Where They Last Saw Her” is a heartbreakingly beautiful piece of writing. What we, the immigrant group that invaded this country, have done to native women since our arrival until today is a disgrace. Further, what men in general have done to women over the millennia is unforgivable. What Marcie has done in this book is show the reader the reality of life for too many native women and girls. The book is neither a political treatise nor a cultural rant; rather, Marcie has written a wonderful piece of fiction that allows the reader to feel the reality that native women have had and continue to bear. Read this book and thank me later. Last words: Marcie does not know that I’m writing this review and I truly believe that my knowing her has in no way influenced what I wrote. I’m not that nice a person.

Heartbreaking and Courageous
