Review:

"Hale draws on her own American Indian heritage to provide the rich detail, authentic dialogue and unfurbished prose that add special drama to a convincing and memorable story."

"�a�. . . poignant, memorable novel . . . a fine piece of writing . . ."

At the end of this novel one is left with a feeling of grim determination that suggests in its very simplicity, a new valuation of life, of going on.
