I guess I need to write this to say that I disagree with the review that did not like the story told through the eyes of a 13 yr. old boy. An assault would affect the whole family. A 13 yr. old would understand, but only to an extent. He would want to take care of his mother, he held her as they went to the hospital, so would feel as though he needed to do something, but for the most part her pain is out of his control.
The story goes beyond the assault, though and is a bit of a mystery. It also has a historical background and present day problems with crime on reservations and even beyond that to show the poverty and alcohol problems. There was sexual content that may be an issue for some.
