Early ReviewersJudith Surber

A powerful contemporary romance novel that blends literary fiction with indigenous themes, exploring the cycles of generational trauma and addiction within a Native community, as one individual's journey to overcome their past illuminates the path to healing and redemption.

This is the debut novel by Pulitzer Foundation-featured journalist Judith Surber whose photo-journalism article on the effects of drug addiction on the Native American population of her Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation was featured in The New York Times.

Surber wrote this novel in 2015, where she honestly explored the inter-generational effects of substance abuse and recovery in one reservation family.
