Description
Grounded in tribal myth, ancestry, music, and poetry, this transcendent memoir traces a young Native American woman’s journey from a difficult Oklahoma childhood toward artistic self-discovery. Facing family turmoil, poverty, abuse, and the challenges of early motherhood, she finds refuge in imagination, spirituality, and the natural world. With haunting honesty and visionary lyricism, the narrative explores betrayal, love, memory, and the painful breaking apart required to claim one’s voice. The result is an intimate and ultimately hopeful account of transformation into an award-winning poet and musician.
