NATIONAL AWARD WINNER. Sharp Objects meets Everything I Never Told You in a relentlessly creepy family saga. Perfect for viewers of "Twin Peaks," "Dark Places," and "Westworld." "Beautifully written. The work of a master craftsman." Grady Harp, Vine Voice. "Endlessly compelling." Writer's Digest. To save his sister, Aidan Little Boy must confront the darkness that lives in the heart of America's frontier. When his sister joins a group living on a remote ranch, Aidan Little Boy encourages her. For four years, he has been their mother's caretaker and hasn't been the brother he wants to be. The group offers Fanny new friendships and a community deeply embedded with their father's Native American traditions. But the ranch holds ancient secrets that threaten to spin Fanny into a darkness she is too innocent to understand. As Aidan investigates the group, he unearths a web of lies that trace back to America's settlement. Unsure who to trust, he opens his heart to a Cherokee herbalist as they uncover a plot so shocking they must risk their own lives to save innocent ones. Hailed as "endlessly compelling," Reparation is an emotional tour de force about the dangers one man must face to rescue his family as well as himself.

In Reparation, the story follows Aiden Little Boy and Gidgee Manitou, two people drawn into a spiritual battle as much as a physical one. Gidgee Manitou is the cult leader of the Four Quarters church, whose plans to cleanse the land of past atrocities tap into the dark side. Aiden Little Boy becomes his Hunka brother – a bond that gives Aiden time to dig into the workings of the ranch and the insight to see what Gidgee Manitou is planning, though the revelation comes slowly.

At risk is all of the women in Aiden’s life – his mother, comatose and cancer-ridden for years, his sister, who’s open heart leaves her vulnerable to Manitou’s manipulation, and Rayna, the beautiful reservation herbalist who catches his eye.

I love the Native American setting, and the struggles it portrays. Ms. Cunningham doesn’t shy away from the atrocities of America’s past. The spirit elements are compelling, and bring a supernatural/fantasy element that I so enjoy.

I also wanted to mention the Heyoka – a kind of spiritual figure/clown that does everything backwards. He was an odd character in the story, but his fate made me laugh.

The writing and imagery are beautiful, and I would definitely recommend the book to adults looking for a smooth, thrilling read. ( )

Sigh, I tried to read this one a couple times, but the super dramatic story just kept taking me out of the story and in the end I was just reading a book, not enjoying a world. Early reviewers have out up a few duds recently and I just can't get my head around this one either. ( )

Reparation is a very good native American supernatural cult story with a solid plot and excellent writing. The characters are well developed with Manitou and Aiden very solid characters. A fascinating read that was hard to put down. Highly recommended for adult readers. ( )

I chose to read this title because it was written with a modern day Native American perspective. This was my first encounter with Native American fiction - add on the paranormal and I couldn't pass it up. The plot was solid and the writing skilled. The cancer plot line was hard to read because a similar situation was still too fresh. I did appreciate the humanity the author put into these scenes and not just medical details. I would read another book by this author. ( )
