One of the best books I have read in a long time and it might be my new favorite.  Such a powerful story of a young women figuring out who she wants to be while discovering where she comes from.  The book traces the lineage of one family all the way back to when they first arrived in American and their Native American roots as well.  This story is captivating, heartbreaking, triumphant and made me laugh out loud many times.  The writing is so beautiful.  I highly recommend making the commitment to read this one!
