My Rating: 4.8
1930's the Lincoln Indian Boys School is a horrible place where Native American children are forcibly removed from their parents. It is also where Odie and his brother Albert, the only white children at the school, are sent after their father dies. Mose is a mute Indian boy at the school and Emmy is the sweet little girl of a teacher at the school. This is about the journey of the four children over one summer where they cross paths with others who are adrift.
This was so well told with each of the characters coming to life on the pages including the struggling farmers, faith healers and vagabonds struggling to make their way. Definite recommend.
This book has been on my TBR for a long time. I need to get to it. Thank you for the review.
