Description

On a Montana reservation shaped by poverty, violence, and enduring cultural strength, Louise White Elk longs for belonging while yearning to claim a life beyond the limits imposed on her. Her fierce independence and striking presence draw the attention of three men, each carrying his own desires, wounds, and capacity for danger. As Louise navigates love, power, and the threat of possession, she must determine what freedom means on her own terms. Lyrical and unsparing, the novel explores identity, survival, community, and the complicated bonds between desire and control.
