At times heartbreaking but always touching and a good read. Strongly recommended.

Didn't work for me as a novel, but that's ok. A lot of people are going to love this and really connect to it. I might enjoy her nonfiction work more.

I still encourage others to try this book and to learn about Dakota history in whatever format works for you.
