This is one of the best books that I have ever read. I started reading the book because I am a girl's high school basketball coach. The book is much deeper than a sports book. You learn about the culture of the Native Americans both good and bad from their perspective and from our perspective. It was a very educational and heartwarming story.
The first chapter or two were a little slow as the author lays the foundation for the story but stay with it. It will bewell worth your time.
