Bestselling Ojibwe author Angeline Boulley continues to make waves in Native literature and beyond. Her latest young adult novel, Sisters of the Wind, debuted this week on the New York Times Bestseller List, marking her third consecutive book to achieve the honor.
“I’m beyond grateful, excited, and proud,” Boulley said to Native News Online on Sunday evening.
Boulley, an enrolled tribal citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, first captivated readers in 2021 with her breakout novel, Firekeeper’s Daughter. Her sophomore release, Warrior Girl Unearthed, solidified her as a powerful storyteller.
Now, with Sisters of the Wind, she returns to her signature blend of suspense and cultural insight, weaving a narrative that centers on two Anishinaabe sisters confronting threats to their community and to each other.
In an interview with Native News Online, Boulley described the new book as “a story about resilience, reclamation, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.”
Indigenous readers across Turtle Island have embraced Boulley’s storytelling for its authenticity and unapologetic representation of Native youth. Her continued success not only highlights her literary talent but also amplifies Native voices in mainstream publishing.
With Sisters of the Wind now a New York Times bestseller, Boulley’s place among the most influential Native authors of this generation is firmly secured
