When: Start 1/20/13; End 2/2/13
Thoughts: This was beautifully written--loved how the Native American legends wove into the story. The main character as an adolescent makes for an intriguing lens on this book and the issues it takes on. I had no idea about the laws on reservations (imposed from the outside) and that they make it difficult to prosecute rape cases. That's where this story starts. The main character's (Joe's) mother is brutally raped and attacked by an outsider, his father is a judge, and questions about justice and revenge and what is permitted under the law swirl around the story.
How: as an ebook on my ipad

There's a line between
Revenge and justice and the law
But it's a fine line
