The Missing Morningstar and Other Stories
A Navajo writer's debut collection, moving between the gritty, the tender and the strange.
Stacie Shannon Denetsosie’s first collection moves between realism and something stranger: a young man selling his sperm to pay for a truck, a couple haunted by a uranium mine, a boarding-school ghost story. She is Navajo and writes about the reservation and its edges without either romance or misery-tourism, and the register shifts sharply from story to story.

This talented Navajo author's debut collection of short stories made me laugh, touched my heart, and left me with ideas to consider. The collection includes gritty, touching, and fanciful tales, and she writes with a poet's heart and a reporter's eye.
