Darryl Wilson was born into the Achumawe and Atsugewi tribes (often called the Pit River Nation) of northeastern California. In this lyrical, poignant memoir he recounts a childhood filled with both traditional joys and a series of tragic experiences. Finally, it is a story of resounding victory as Wilson slowly uncovers strengths of character and culture that give him the courage to move on to adulthood.
