Summary: After living in the cold, dinky town of Fenway, Michigan for nearly two decades, seventeen year old Claudia Strauss is more than ready for something new. But when she finds herself living in a small Montana town that borders an Indian reservation, she will struggle to to find acceptance in an unfamiliar world. As the only black teenager on the Blackfoot reservation, Claudia must not only come to terms with cultural conflicts, but also deal with the unpleasant realities of transitioning to adulthood.
Along the way, she finds herself drawn to Tristan Whitefeather, the loner artist who is "different" in a way that both scares and intrigues her. She also feels the pull towards Lucas Good Blanket, who is a bad boy with a soft heart that has just as much as skill with the opposite sex as he does with his hand drum.
Through the trials of her teenage years to the problems of young adulthood, Claudia will find her life forever changed by the people on the rez. And in the process, learn more about herself than she ever could have imagined.
