"The Secret Freindship is based upon the Sac and Fox Indians in the Iowa Territory in 1840 and is a yarn or cross-cultural misunderstanding. Two boys, one Indian and one white, challenge long-held family prejudices to find sincere and long-lasting friendship." The author states: "In addition, I drew upon the genealogical history of my father's family who settled in Iowa in 1840. Incidentally, there is still a settlement there at Tama, Iowa, and it is not a government reservation--the Indians do own the land." YA fiction.
