So sad, every word in this book was heartbreaking and full of tragedy, however redemption is also a huge part of this story. Great read and very engrossing.

I did not like this book too much. It was not what I expected at all and wound up being more political than I wanted to read. I give this book one star.

An important book a well written compelling read.A look at the abuse of Native Americans a book that I learned so much from a look at this issue told in a style that drew me in.It will make you said make you think and most importantly make you want to discuss to hope changes will be made,#netgalley#st.martins.

A direct, comprehensive look at the shocking abuse of Native American people and their resources. Byron Dorgan was a US Senator when he first met Tamara, the girl in the photograph. After reading her story and seeing the conditions she and other children were living in, Senator Dorgan started a concentrated effort to improve the living conditions and increase the opportunities available to natives across the map. This book is well researched and uses current data to drive home the actions needed for immediate and long term improvements. This book is most definitely a conversation starter. Read this story and share it with everyone you know.

This is excellent. A fantastic presentation of the plight of the modern day Native American. I love that Dorgan drives home that happened to Tamara, the girl in the photo that inspired this man to action, is happening to others as well. It gives a clear history of how the current state of things came to be, while also shedding light on specific instances where Native people are being taken advantage of. I also love that he showcases Native Americans, both young and old, doing what the can to make the lives of all Native people better. Bringing those to the forefront was a great thing to do. As was the list of resources and organizations at the end; it spreads awareness, guides people to places where they can learn more, and do what they can to help. An excellent resource! A must read!

I’m usually not a nonfiction reader. However I could not put down this book! An engaging story where I wanted to keep reading to dive in deeper.

I’ve been recently interested in books by indigenous authors and/or about the Native American experience and was glad to receive an advanced copy of this book. The story is compelling but the writing style I found off-putting in a way I can’t quite put my finger on.
