Join us as Mona Susan Power chats about her newest novel, A Council of Dolls, and how she explores Native Rights and Native American culture, in particular by using an important symbol that anchors comfort and companionship in Native life: dolls.  A modern masterpiece, A Council of Dolls is gorgeous, quietly devastating, and ultimately hopeful, shining a light on the echoing damage wrought by Indian boarding schools, and the historical massacres of Indigenous people. Mona Susan Power weaves a spell of love and healing that comes alive on the page.
