Montana 1948
ByPublisher Description
In the summer of 1948, twelve-year-old David Hayden witnessed and experienced a series of cataclysmic events that would forever change the way he saw his family. The Haydens had been pillars of their small Montana town: David's father was the town sheriff; his uncle Frank was a war hero and respected doctor. But the family's solid foundation was suddenly shattered by a bombshell revelation.
The Hayden's Sioux housekeeper, Marie Little Soldier, tells them that Frank has been sexually assaulting his female Indian patients for years—and that she herself was his latest victim. As the tragic fallout 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 loyalty and justice.

“This book is an apology but not for the events that happened.. it’s a very subtle
“I cannot help who my family is so I’m sorry.
I couldn’t be of help so I’m sorry.
I knew more than you thought so I’m sorry.
I was a child then so I’m sorry.
We ran away so I’m sorry.
I have held this secret so I’m sorry.”
There were weird bits throughout but I overall enjoyed the storytelling”
“Original and honest”
