Review Quotes:
"The way Pearl E. Casias combines her personal story with the history of her tribe as well as that of the larger world is illuminating. She possesses self-knowledge and an appreciation for justice that have enabled her to become a leader in her society. She writes with a candor that is unusual, almost disarming. I was hooked from the first word."--Margaret Randall, author of Letters from the Edge: Outrider Conversations and More Letters from the Edge: Outrider Conversations
