DESCRIPTION:
fascinating memoir It was hard to put this book down; I always wanted to know what would happen next. It's about Warroad, which I consider my hometown, it's about Native American life, which has always interested me, and I enjoy memoirs in general, so it's no surprise I enjoyed this book as much as I did.The only thing that could have improved this book is some editing; grammatical errors were distracting, but that is the only thing that kept me from giving his 5 stars instead of fascinating memoir Dawn L It was hard to put this book down; I always wanted to know what would happen next.
