Aprašymas

Although this book is fiction, it is reflective of the horrible plague being faced by many in Indian Country. This book brings to life the daily struggle of those suffering with addiction, as well as the fallout faced by the families and friends of the addicted person. Although a difficult issue, this author has included "Indian humor" to bring light to this subject, which makes it an enjoyable read."

This is the debut novel by Pulitzer Foundation-featured journalist Judith Surber whose photo-journalism article on the effects of drug addiction on the Native American population of her Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation was featured in The New York Times.

Surber wrote this novel in 2015, where she honestly explored the inter-generational effects of substance abuse and recovery in one reservation family.

Follow the story of one woman's journey from heroin addiction to a life of sobriety as shared day-to-day with her extended family - her mother, uncle and aunt, two children, cousins and everyone else on the reservation who have experienced the ups and many downs of drug addiction and rehab. And new love, which is a challenge and complication that no one expected.

Can love triumph over addiction?
