Girl Gone Missing by Marcier Rendon
Cash is off to a local college with the help of Wheaton, who wants her to take hold of her life and aspire to better things. At Moorhead State she sees that people talk a lot but mostly about nothing, not like the men in the fields she's known all her life, who hold the rich topsoil in their hands, talk fertilizer and weather and prices on the Grain Exchange. In between classes and hauling beets, drinking beer and shooting pool, she begins to dream of the Cities and blonde Scandinavian girls calling for help. Can she be their answer?Marcie Rendon is a White Earth Nation citizen. She was the first Native American woman to receive the McKnight Distinguished Artist award, which she received in 2020. Girl Gone Lost, published by Cinco Puntos Publications, is the second installment in the Cash Blackbear series. Murder on the Red River (2017 Cinco Puntos Publishing), which won the Pinckley Women's Debut Crime Novel Award in 2018, was the first. It was a Spur Award Finalist in the Contemporary Novel category from the Western Writers of America in 2018.
Pow Wow Summer (MN Historical Press) and Farmer's Market: Families Working Together (CarolRhoda) are two nonfiction children's books. Rendon was named a Minnesota AARP and POLLEN 50 Over 50 Change-maker in 2018. She is the brains of Raving Native Theater, with four published plays to her credit. She curates community-created performance, such as Art Is...CreativeNativeResilience, which aired on TPT Public Television in June 2019 and features three Anishinabe performance artists.
Rendon was highlighted in Oprah Magazine's 31 Native American Writers to Read Right Now: Rendon's Cash Blackbear series are captivating vehicles that reveal wider stories about the historical mistreatment of American Indians.
