Washington Post Best Book of the Year
New York Times Notable Book
One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a
reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime
are slow to surface because Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and
reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police
or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one
day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his
mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of
solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely
into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice
from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated
with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted
friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own.
Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and
place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the
beginning.
