Keep the Secret. Live the Lie. Earn your Truth.
Eighteen-year-old Daunis has always felt like an outsider with her mixed heritage, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When she witnesses a murder, Daunis reluctantly agrees to go undercover. But secretly she pursues her own investigation, tracking down the culprits with her knowledge of traditional medicine. As the bodies pile up, Daunis finds herself caught in a web of deceit that threatens the people she loves the most.
'Both an interrogation of racist misogyny and a swift-paced, compelling thriller.' -- Guardian
'A story that grips like a bulldog clip on your heart.' -- Katherine Rundell, author of The Good Thieves
'Raw and moving, the intricacies of family loyalty and who comes first are deftly and sensitively explored. Firekeeper's Daughter sensitively touches on crimes and lack of accountability against indigenous women in the Native American community and identity. Boulley has crafted a nuanced and refreshing protagonist.' -- Cosmopolitan
'Both thrilling and heartwrenching, with twists and turns I didn't see coming.' -- Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars
'Immersive and enthralling, Firekeeper's Daughter plunges the reader into a community and a landscape enriched by a profound spiritual tradition. Full of huge characters and spellbinding scenes, it gives a fascinating insight into life on and off the reservation, with Daunis as a tough and resourceful heroine through every vicissitude.' -- Financial Times
