Rick MacDonnell | Highway of Tears | Review @RickMacDonnell | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Hi, I'm Rick, and I recently read one of the most affecting books of 2019: Highway of Tears by Jessica McDiarmid.
The Highway of Tears is a 725 km stretch of road in British Columbia and it is a microcosm of a national tragedy: 55 Indigenous women and girls have been murdered or have gone missing along this highway, and it's suspected that some 4000 have gone missing nationwide.
Highway of Tears (the book) is a powerful story about our ongoing failure to provide justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and a testament to their families and communities' unwavering determination to find it.
I also talk about two other books--Beyond the Trees & One Bird's Choice--but literally who gives a shit. For this moment, they don't matter.

![The 10 Years/10 Books Tag [Original]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SXRjuK4Dut8/hqdefault.jpg "The 10 Years/10 Books Tag [Original]
This is the 10 Years/10 Books Tag, where youre asked to talk about the best book you read each year from 2010 to 2019. The easiest way to figure this out is to go to your Goodreads account and filter your Read Books by date. If your Goodreads doesnt go back all the way to 2010, just take educated guesses (like I did with 2010/2011). If its not exactly accurate, who cares. Just have fun with it!
If theres a similar tag out there, I dont mean to step on anyones toes. I simply dont stay up to date on these things :P
