This is the prequel to Elatsoe , which I read and reviewed last year. You can read that review here . Sheine Lende by Darcie Little Badger is about the maternal grandmother of Ellie from the first book, named Shane (well, her name is Sheine Lende meaning sunflower in the Lipan language, but everyone usually just calls her Shane). Set in the 1970s mostly in Texas, Shane and her mother Lorenza have a search-and-rescue business along with their three dogs (well, two live dogs and a ghost dog) Neal, Nealy, and Nellie.
