This book reads like a continuing poem, a search for identity. Full of light and dark. Contains a lot about Native Peoples mysteries and traditions, but ultimately a story of self discovery. I loved the writing style: the prose carries you forward into the book. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes funny, much like life generally and in nineteenth century America. Great book.
