A very compassionate, thorough account of the tragedy of MMIW on Canada's Highway of Tears. 

I really appreciated how the author spent time with many of the standout cases of the Highway of Tears, and took an empathetic point of view on not only their case but their life and the way they affected their relatives and friends. I have a lot of issues with the genre of true crime, and I felt like this book was done with love & care with respect to the victims and their loved ones. If you are a fan of true crime, you will like the way this is written.

Jessica McDiarmid also made sure to talk about the many systemic issues, pointing out all the broken cogs in a broken wheel. 

There were some times I wish the argumentation was a bit more solid and in-depth, and there could have been more acknowledgment of 2SLGBTQIA+ people, but to be honest, the breadth of this issue is huge, with so many systemic issues that play a role that could each have their own book. I have to appreciate that the author tackled this issue and the respectful way she approached it.
