(4) YA Family tragedy and social injustice haunt fourteen-year-old Allie, who, following her father's death, has moved to her grandparents' home in northern Minnesota, where, in the 1960s, harsh lines divide white and Ojibwe residents. Though the free-verse format seems arbitrary, Allie's voice is strong as she struggles with complex emotions.
