Bad Cree : a novel by Johns, Jessica,author.;
"A haunting debut novel where dreams, family and spirits collide. Mackenzie, a Cree millennial, wakes up in her small, one-bedroom Vancouver apartment clutching a pine bough she had been holding in her dream just moments earlier. When she blinks, it disappears. But she can still smell the sharp pine scent in the air, the nearest pine tree a thousand kilometres away in the deep prairies of Treaty 8. Mackenzie continues to accidentally bring back items from her dreams. Dreams that are eerily similar to real memories of her older sister and Kokum before their untimely deaths. As Mackenzie's life spirals into the living nightmare of crows following her around and her dead sister texting her from the other side, it becomes clear that the dreams have terrifying, real-life consequences. Desperate for help, Mackenzie returns to her mother, sister, cousin, and aunties in her small hometown in Alberta. And together, they work to uncover what is haunting Mackenzie before something irrevocable happens to anyone else around her. Haunting, fierce, an ode to female relations and the strength found in kinship, Bad Cree is a gripping, arresting debut by an unforgettable voice."--

Anywhere you run : a novel / by Morris, Wanda M.(Wanda Michelle),1959-author.;
It's 1964 and Violet Richards is in more trouble than she's ever been in her life. It was an act of self-defense against her white rapist, Huxley Broadus.

Before anyone can find Huxley's body or finger Violet as the killer, she decides to run. With the help of her white beau, Dewey Leonard, a lovesick boy intent on marrying her up North, they make it to Birmingham before she sneaks away and catches a Greyhound bus bound for Washington, D.C. But desperation has her winding up in the small rural town of Chillicothe, Georgia. Back in Jackson, Marigold, Violet's older sister, has dreams of attending law school.

But after the Project's lawyer, and her baby's father, abandons her and news of Huxley's murder brings the police to her door, Marigold sees no choice but to marry another man and leave Jackson behind. After a quick marriage, they move to Ohio seeking the promise of a better life and no more segregation. Two sisters on the run, one from the law, the other from social shame.
