(4) 4-6 Howard has never understood the reason for his father's anger, which often results in domestic abuse, but he knows it increases when Mom's uncle Louis is around. This story concerns compelling topics--Native Americans denying their heritage and a shocking episode from 1930s Vermont in which Native women were sterilized without their knowledge--but Howard functions mostly as a step-removed observer in this issue-driven novel.
