"In 1972, John Daniel, an eleven-year-old Blue Indian from Aberdeen in Canada's Northwest Territories was brought to live with a white couple in Alberta, having been removed from their parents by the 'Powers that Be'. John promised he'd never go back. But at age twenty-two, a job with a drilling company brought him back to the land of his people. This is a novel of secrets, lies, and madness written with passion and eloquence."--Back cover.
