A coming of age saga follows two generations of a tribe on the American Indian reservations of the turbulent 60s and 70s and their struggle through civil unrest, racism, poverty, and Vietnam. The male and female characters, from two generations and three races that live on the reservation, struggle to find their own paths as their tribe and the nation do the same. Drawing from personal experiences, writer G. Madison, a Native American and Vietnam Vet, brings to life traditional storytelling, family issues, and the history of a people striving to find their way through a hostile and changing land in this authentic and emotional contemporary novel, the first in a trilogy.
