ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
The Sentence by Louise Erdrich tells the story of Tookie, a Native woman who, after being released from prison, begins working in a bookstore. Her life takes a turn when the ghost of a recently deceased customer, Flora, begins to haunt her and the bookstore. As Tookie grapples with this supernatural presence, she also becomes entangled in the mystery of a manuscript that Flora had stolen, which seems to hold a dangerous power. The narrative explores themes of identity, history, and the power of language, particularly within the context of Native American experiences. The book delves into how past traumas can haunt the present and impact individual lives. Tookie must learn to confront her own past and find solace in community and connection as she seeks to understand and resolve the mystery surrounding Flora's ghost.
