Description

In the wake of a life-altering journey, a young Choctaw boy is drawn into the dangerous currents of history, family, and identity as he crosses Bok Chitto—both a place and a symbol of passage. Guided by the stories and teachings of his community, he must navigate shifting loyalties, moral choices, and the pressures of a world that doesn’t always recognize his people’s dignity or truth. Blending adventure with heartfelt coming-of-age insight, this novel explores themes of cultural survival, resilience, and the power of memory to shape who we become. Tim Tingle’s accessible, story-driven style brings Choctaw perspectives to the forefront, making the past feel immediate while honoring the voices that carry it forward.
