This is the journey of a little boy to come to grips with his adoption, life with his loving grandparents, cruel and invasive government, and eventual loneliness in his identity as an Native American.
This book left me bitter in a bad way (if there is a good way). Since my ancestry is mostly Native American, I imagine it had the same effect on me that "Roots" is likely to have on African Americans.
The redeeming element of this book is the relationship with grandparents: their willingness to sacrifice; their adherence to an older code of integrity.
