Editorial Review: The events of that small-town summer forever alter David Hayden's view of his family: his self-effacing father, a sheriff who never wears his badge; his clear sighted mother; his uncle, a charming war hero and respected doctor; and the Hayden's lively, statuesque Sioux housekeeper, Marie Little Soldier, whose revelations are at the heart of the story. It is a tale of love and courage, of power abused, and of the terrible choice between family loyalty and justice.

Rating: - Excellent Book
I read this book in one sitting. His characters were fascinating and his depiction of a the small Montana community was excellent... and almost 60 years after this story takes place, some things are still the same.
