Description
Spanning generations, this lyrical debut novel follows a young Native man growing up amid the intertwined histories of a Kiowa family and their Mexican American relatives in Oklahoma. Told through the shifting voices of parents, grandparents, siblings, and community members, the story explores the ways love, grief, cultural memory, and inherited trauma shape a family’s identity. As its characters confront poverty, prejudice, loss, and the enduring strength of tradition, the novel becomes a moving portrait of resilience and belonging. Richly voiced and deeply compassionate, it celebrates the bonds that connect a family across time.
