“From the summer of my twelfth year I carry a series of images more vivid and lasting than any others of my boyhood and indelible beyond all attempts the years make to erase or fade them… “ So begins David Hayden’s story of what happened in Montana in 1948. The events of that cataclysmic summer permanently alter twelve-year-old David’s understanding of his family: his father, a small-town sheriff; his remarkably strong mother; David’s uncle Frank, a war hero and respected doctor; and the Haydens’ Sioux housekeeper, Marie Little Soldier, whose revelations turn the family’s life upside down as she relates how Frank has been molesting his female Indian patients. As their story unravels around David, he learns that truth is not what one believes it to be, that power is abused, and that sometimes one has to choose between family loyalty and justice.

Power and corruption. Racism and prejudice. These topics are explored exactly in the novel.
评分其实还挺好看的。快结尾的时候Wesley回忆他对Frank的感激我都快流泪了。
评分"They couldnt arrest us-- we are the law!" You deserve it, Wesley.
评分看到Gail拿枪的那段好感动。。喜欢Gail,,这也是我来美国读的第一本小说
评分It is too obvious to say that this is a bestseller worth reading, with its frank and straightforward recount of a pathetic but provoking story against the bleak reality of western America.
