His father's injury at the hands of corrupt police, his mother's struggle to hold on to her job and care for her husband, the constant resettlement of the family, and the legacy of centuries of injustice all intensify Ever's bottled-up rage. Meanwhile, all of Ever's relatives have ideas about who he is and who he should be. His Cherokee grandmother urges the family to move across Oklahoma to find security; his grandfather hopes to reunite him with his heritage through traditional gourd dances; his Kiowa cousin reminds him that he's connected to an ancestral past. And once an adult, Ever must take the strength given to him by his relatives to save not only himself but also the next generation of family. How will this young man visualize a place for himself when the world hasn't given him a place to start with?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240302010807.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20240126010423.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240125010614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76FDB0C6BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
