But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her.

A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMy Heart Is a Chainsaw\u003c\/span\u003e is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.","brand":"Frames Etc ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62670145618079,"sku":"187247972823","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/9450\/5119\/files\/IMG_2310.jpg?v=1770327885","url":"https:\/\/www.framesetc.net\/products\/my-heart-is-a-chainsaw-stephen-graham-jones-simon-and-schuster","provider":"Frames Etc ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
