Native Bookshelf: ‘Whiskey Tender’ by Deborah Jackson Taffa
In the most compelling way, Whiskey Tender, the memoir by Deborah Jackson Taffa (Kwatsaán and Laguna Pueblo), is both an intimate personal story and Native American history lesson.

The book reveals her own epiphany over what she and her ancestors are pressured to sacrifice in striving for the American Dream. Her account is both poignant and humorous.

And Whiskey Tender is earning high praise, with best-selling author Tommy Orange calling Taffa’s story a “drink you didn’t know you were thirsty for.”
