Fresh Voices Book Group: Big Chief by Jon Hickey

 

Big Chief follows Mitch Caddo, a young law graduate and outsider in his Anishinaabe homeland, as he helps run the Passage Rouge Nation alongside Tribal President Mack Beck, his childhood friend. On the eve of a tense reelection, their hold on power is challenged by activist Gloria Hawkins and her aide, Layla Beck—Mack’s estranged sister and Mitch’s former love. As political games escalate and a tragic death throws the election into chaos, Mitch must confront divided loyalties and rising violence. A timely, gripping story of identity, power, and the fight for belonging.

The Fresh Voices Book Group aims to read books by new voices—debut authors with fresh perspectives. Though all are welcome to join, this book group is aimed at readers in their early twenties to thirties.
Copies of the book can be found at the Library a month prior to each discussion.  Please note that some titles are also available as downloadable ebooks and eaudio books.
