This is a moving novel about a child seeking love and comfort, and then ripped away by cruel people who want to abuse and control her. Because she’s Cherokee. The narrative, told by the child, Kit, goes into detail how she ended up in the “Christian” orphanage. There, she is heartbreakingly violated by the older, male director. All throughout, Kit is smart and works out a plan to survive. A well-written book, though at times the plot went back and forth in time that was a bit jolting.
