Crooked Hallelujah

"Justine is a 15-year-old living in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma with her mother, Lula, when she learns she’s pregnant. In chapters voiced by different narrators, debut novelist Kelli Jo Ford shows how Lula, Justine and Justine’s daughter, Reney, are both alike and different, each woman stubborn and acting on convictions all her own. With love binding them together even through historical and present trauma, Lula, Justine and Reney carve unexpected paths and try to find a way to feel at home and safe in a world of unpredictability."
