This past summer, I had the opportunity to work as a clinical social worker at Tuba City Regional Hospital, located on the Navajo Nation Reservation in Tuba City, Arizona. During my time there, I learned a great deal about Navajo culture, customs, and values. I also became aware of a pressing issue in the community—the search for missing women. On my second day of work, I participated in a community march addressing this very topic. https://anitasbooknook.com
The community’s commitment to this critical issue inspired me to begin writing the first draft of And the Crows Saw Everything—a haunting mystery rooted in grief, silence, and the pursuit of truth. I hope to shed light on the plight of missing women in Indigenous communities so that others can become aware of this overlooked tragedy.amazon.com/author/anitadixonthomas
The story focuses on a Navajo teacher named Talia Manygoats, who disappears after raising concerns at a boarding school. Her twin sister, Victoria, a criminal investigator, becomes deeply involved in a devastating search that leads to a charred house in the desert—and a truth darker than anyone could have imagined.
