One of several hundred books Appa rescued after her library's book sale.

Book description:

Danny Kachiah is an Indian fighting not to become a casualty. But it looks like a losing battle. His father, Red Shirt, is dead. His wife, Loxie, has left him. And at thirty-four, Danny is too old to keep drifting around the rodeos of the Northwest, winning more contusions than cash.

Then Danny learns that Loxie, too, has died. And he sets off to retrieve Jack, the son he yearns for but barely knows. To teach him the old ways that he himself has almost forgotten. To claim Jack—and to reclaim himself—before time runs out for them both.
