Whitehead eloquently writes Jonny’s story, capturing his character growth. I found the novel emotionally profound and brutally honest. Jonny Appleseed navigates Jonny’s life as he tries to understand himself and the way he wants to live. These vignettes aren’t chronological, and they focus on his close relationships with his friends Tias and Jordan, his mother, and his grandmother. The story is told in vignettes of Jonny’s life, leading up to his eventual return to the reservation to attend his stepfather’s funeral. Jonny moves to Winnipeg for a better life, eventually working as a sex worker. The novel centres around Jonny and his life in and outside the reservation. ![]() Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead is a beautifully written character driven novel about a Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer character. Content warning: sexual assault, racism, homophobia, physical violence, drug use ![]() ![]() I think my one beef with the story is that I absolutely hate the Thelopuis character, because of his view that his "kind" is the best and that people shouldn't mix with any other "kind".

In fact, he’s my third overall dynasty player. Mobile field generals can be gold in fantasy land.Īmong the running backs, I’m expecting rookie Bijan Robinson to make a huge Year 1 impact in Atlanta. Stroud were the first signal-callers picked in the actual draft, but I like Anthony Richardson as the top dynasty option at the position. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which highlight long-term, dynasty formats. ![]() With that said, here’s my updated look at every position as we inch closer to the summer. It also means we can now better project fantasy rookie values with their new teams.

As Cate grows up, the shadow of what her mother did follows her until, as a grown woman, she returns home and is reunited with Dillon, the boy whose family owns the ranch Cate escaped to after her kidnapping. Once the police begin investigating, it becomes evident that Cate’s mother planned the kidnapping as a way to make some quick money and is arrested. ![]() At a celebration of his life, Cate is kidnapped and held for ransom, but she soon escapes to a nearby ranch.

The events of the tragedy cannot yet be foreseen, but the theme is evident from the start. ![]() Love and Hate can be seen very early from the prologue.
