Description

Winner of the 2006 Marilyn Brown Novel Award. The story of a young girl's experience in the Mormon Church's Indian placement program, and its impact on her life as an adult and on her children. The judges called Cope's work 'weightier, more ambitious, and more moving than the other entries-a feminine response to Brady Udall's The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint and an achievement akin to Momaday's House Made of Dawn. The work has real gravity. It is bracingly unsparing in its attention to the sheer awfulness and sense of deep cultural and spiritual betrayal and despair in the life of a Navajo-Anglo working-class family here in happy Utah Valley through the last five decades, dealing with the larger problems that the story of such a family reveals for a church that has aspired to enlighten the lives of people of all ethnicities.
