The Woman Who Watches over the World: A Native Memoir Book

This book is written so beautifully that it spoiled me for another memoir I've been reading behind the scenes. I agree with the blurb by Teresa Jordan that the book "reaches back through human experience until it arrives at the very core of being." Hogan excavates the material of her biography in layers, passes through history, DNA, nature, science, and spirit until the reader finally understands that any event Hogan relays has been molded by an enormous chronology of native survival. The depth of the author's perspective repays the reader in compassion learned. I love this book for the narrative it presents and for the wisdom of its melodic voice.
