"A book that you want to share with everyone you know and one that
you are desperate to keep in your own possession. A masterful debut
and a new and thrilling voice for readers across the globe."
--Sarah Jessica Parker, on Instagram It's 1974 in the Cherokee
Nation of Oklahoma and fifteen-year-old Justine grows up in a
family of tough, complicated, and loyal women presided over by her
mother, Lula, and Granny. After Justine's father abandoned the
family, Lula became a devout member of the Holiness Church - a
community that Justine at times finds stifling and terrifying. But
Justine does her best as a devoted daughter until an act of
violence sends her on a different path forever. Crooked Hallelujah
tells the stories of Justine--a mixed-blood Cherokee woman-- and
her daughter, Reney, as they move from Eastern Oklahoma's Indian
Country in the hopes of starting a new, more stable life in Texas
amid the oil bust of the 1980s. However, life in Texas isn't easy,
and Reney feels unmoored from her family in Indian Country. Against
the vivid backdrop of the Red River, we see their struggle to
survive in a world--of unreliable men and near-Biblical natural
forces, like wildfires and tornados--intent on stripping away their
connections to one another and their very ideas of home. In lush
and empathic prose, Kelli Jo Ford depicts what this family of
proud, stubborn, Cherokee women sacrifices for those they love,
amid larger forces of history, religion, class, and culture. This
is a big-hearted and ambitious novel of the powerful bonds between
mothers and daughters by an exquisite and rare new talent.
