Reviews

"Raised to conceal her Native ancestry, Terra Trevor learns from elders to nurture her mixed blood identity and shape her activism in transracial adoption, Indian health and education, and community building. This is an inspiring, heartfelt memoir of one Native woman's spirit journey from childhood to her own elderhood."--Robert Bensen, editor of Children of the Dragonfly: Native American Voices on Child Custody and Education
"This poignant memoir touches on the trials and tribulations of Terra Trevor, a mixed blood American Indian straddling two races. It's a book you won't be able to put down, written with simplicity, grace, and urgency, transcending any expectations. In spite of many obstacles, Trevor is a woman of unimaginable strength and courage. After not being heard as a child, she thankfully found her voice as a writer, and how lucky we are!"--Diana Raab, author of Regina's Closet and Writing for Bliss
"The book's insights are fascinating, and there is a feeling of authenticity throughout. Terra Trevor confronts big (and often tragic) life events with humility and real wisdom. She not only describes how she makes her way through those events but does so in a very pragmatic way. Additionally, the work incorporates a powerful look at the intersections between gender, race, and culture. This is an important story, beautifully told and extremely relevant for these difficult times."--Margaret Randall, author of I Never Left Home: Poet, Feminist, Revolutionary
