Description
Set in the Appalachian hills of Ohio, this sweeping coming-of-age novel follows Betty Carpenter, the daughter of a Cherokee father and white mother, as she grows up amid poverty, prejudice, family secrets, and profound hardship. Through Betty’s eyes, the story explores heritage, identity, generational trauma, and the sustaining power of imagination and storytelling. Lyrical and deeply compassionate, it portrays one girl’s struggle to preserve her sense of self while confronting the wounds carried by those she loves.
