In this interview, I chat with Deborah Jackson Taffa about Whiskey Tender, telling an intersectional story, portraying blended backgrounds versus oversimplifying the Native experience, weaving history into her own story, what surprised her the most when she was writing her memoir. her title and cover, and much more.
Deborah's recommended reads are:
Shutter by Ramona Emerson
The Missing Morningstar by Stacie Shannon Denetsosie
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
The Strange Beautiful by Carla Crujido
