Oooff sorry for the low rating. I just COULD NOT bond with this book. Maybe I don’t know enough about the politics the book centered on or maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

A book set in two states that I love- MO and MINN. 
A sign language aspect
Good character development 
Well thought out plot and story. 
Historical fiction (both ugly and beautiful)
And a little magical realism
I liked it.
