A Book About Love in the Face of Poverty and Prejudice: My Review of Dogwood Blossom by DeAnna Quietwater Noriega #FantasticFridayReads #Fiction #Inspiration
What Others Say
In her novella Dogwood Blossom, author and social justice advocate DeAnna Quietwater Noriega weaves a tapestry of rich details about growing up Native American. From migrant farm to reservation and beyond, this story centers on love, family, and resilience in a world of racial and economic injustice, where a 10–year–old Chippewa girl wants a cherry–red sweater.

This book is a crystalline window that offers us a candid view of a hardworking and loving family. Poverty and oppression are no match for the strong bonds among the characters. The author’s authentic words transcend generations and transport the reader into another place and time—yet the themes are still relevant today. The uplifting story left a warm glow in my heart, as I’m sure it will in the hearts of many.

In Dogwood Blossom, the author beautifully invokes a simpler time and her Native American heritage. The life lessons here will resonate with readers young and old. Immerse yourself in the captivating worlds she creates, and you’ll be left yearning for more.
