So Tookie, madly in love with her friend, stole a refrigerated truck, pretended to be a funeral director of sorts and brought the body across state lines to Danae. Danae claimed to be distraught and need the body. Why, you might ask, would she do such a thing? Well, her best friend Danae was in love with the dead man and he died at the home he shared with his wife, Mara. Tookie is thinking back on the 60 year prison sentence she received for transporting a dead body from Wisconsin to Minnesota in a stolen refrigerator truck in 2005.
The narrator is a Native American woman named Tookie. “In love as in death and mayhem, small things start a chain of events which veer so out of control that sooner or later an absurd detail intrudes, bringing the trail of events back for us to ponder.” The Sentence is an amazing story of big and small events which give us a lot to ponder.
