Synopsis

Sanna Pennbrook, a fifteen-year-old Native American, decides to kill the president when her mother, a dual citizen of the U.S. and the Cherokee Nation, is arrested at the airport under the administration's new ONE (One Nation Education) policy and is taken to a detention center. Sanna turns to her mother's friends to figure out how she can help. After deciphering her mother's mysterious book and learning lessons in intersectional feminism, Sanna decides she wants to undo the many injustices of the past - and this means resorting to violence.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

"Cassie Premo Steele has written a stunner of a novel, one that speaks profoundly to (and of) our times, yet also carries a timeless wisdom--a wisdom that knows the power of art, the power of story, the power of love, yet also knows sometimes there are no easy answers. The ReSisters left me breathless and shaken and grateful."--Gayle Brandeis, Author of The Book of Dead Birds, winner of the Bellwether Prize for Fiction of Social Engagement

From the Back Cover

"I read The ReSisters in one fascinated sitting, completely drawn into the story of a dystopian future already present in too many ways. Steele writes with a confident energy that is captivating--I could not put down the novel until I learned the fate of Sanna, an indigenous teenage girl whose life has been blown apart. She won my heart." --Susan Power, Author of Sacred Wilderness and The Grass Dancer
