About This Book
Thirteen-year-old Joe Coutts's mother is viciously attacked on their North Dakota reservation. As his tribal-judge father works to find the perpetrator within a broken legal system that makes it nearly impossible to prosecute crimes on reservation land, Joe and his friends launch their own investigation. A novel about justice, family, and the legal limbo in which reservation communities exist. Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction and the Indies Choice Book Award.
