Description

In the stark landscape of Truth, Montana, and the adjacent Bright Water Reserve, young Tecumsah navigates the complexities of adolescence and identity. Alongside his cousin Lum, he grapples with absent fathers, the pull of tradition, and the uncertain future that lies ahead. This coming-of-age narrative explores the challenges of growing up Indigenous on the borderlands, where the lines between two worlds blur and the search for belonging is paramount. Through Tecumsah's eyes, King crafts a poignant story about family, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a community.
