This is the story of a young boy, raised by Native Americans, who is forced to go back to the white family he had been taken from. He does not want to go, and neither do most of the others that are also being made to go back to their former lives and families. He struggles to adjust and eventually finds that he now has no place in either culture. It is a bit depressing, but I was amazed at how nuanced the writing on the two cultures was, especially for the time it was written. It seems originally that one side is shown to be better, but by the end, that is in question, as you see the bad parts of both cultures. I found it generally enjoyable, but a bit difficult to read at times simply because some of the content did make me uncomfortable. This is also supposed to be a children's book, and I am not the target audience.
