A federal agent is dead, and the murder suspect is Alma's childhood friend, Harry Muskrat. Harry -- or Asku, as Alma knew him -- was the most promising student at the "savage-taming" boarding school run by her father, where Alma was the only white pupil. Created in the wake of the Indian Wars, the Stover School was intended to assimilate the children of neighboring reservations. Instead, it robbed them of everything they'd known -- language, customs, even their names -- and left a heartbreaking legacy in its wake. The bright, courageous boy Alma knew could never have murdered anyone. But she barely recognizes the man Asku has become, cold and embittered at being an outcast in the white world and a ghost in his own. Her lawyer husband, Stewart, reluctantly agrees to help defend Asku for Alma's sake. To do so, Alma must revisit the painful secrets she has kept hidden from everyone, especially Stewart. 650 0 $a Ojibwa Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians, Treatment of $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Off-reservation boarding schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indian agents $x Corrupt practices $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Whites $x Relations with Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Minnesota $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Legal fiction (Literature) $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print historical fiction. 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119014930.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023510.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20190222010732.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030838.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180822010304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB45CC6EA5D011E8889A5D6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
