I enjoyed this book. It held me throughout. I love the character studies of each person and each of their own personal situations in the midst of natural disaster and how they are all brought together. ~ Jane O. 


I think the best description of this book is the quote by Tom Hanks which says it's a book about family. And this family, against the odds of most showbiz families, survived with a long-term marriage and two successful sons. Not to say they were perfect, as one brother did struggle with substance abuse for a time, but the respect and admiration they had for each other just comes shining through. It was especially fascinating to read how the boys' father worked with them in unconventional ways so their acting would be genuine. Very interesting read! ~ Linda J. 


Red Paint: The ancestral autobiography of a Coast Salish Punk by  Sasha taqwšeblu LaPointe

Well worth the read. I'm interested in reading more from this author. I'm curious if future work would be fiction and centered on Indigenous people, culture, and history. Red Paint is an autobiography intersecting the author's experiences with the women in her lineage. It's a reflection of historical traumas of colonialism and genocide, resilience and healing. ~ Mary T.


Good story, kept you guessing until the end! ~ Linnea S.
