Publisher Comments:
Michael Dorris has crafted a fierce saga of three generations of Indian women, beset by hardships and torn by angry secrets, yet inextricably joined by the bonds of kinship. Starting in the present day and moving backward, the novel is told in the voices of the three women: fifteen-year-old part-black Rayona; her American Indian mother, Christine, consumed by tenderness and resentment toward those she loves; and the fierce and mysterious Ida, mother and grandmother whose haunting secrets, betrayals, and dreams echo through the years, braiding together the strands of the shared past.

I was transfigured while reading this book. This is a book you can't help but read, yet don't want it to end so you put the reading off. No book can compare to this one with the amount of metaphors, similes, and symbols. If you like letters transposed into words and phrases, then you should read this book! What else can I say?
