Review from amazon:
In the summer of 1932, on the banks of Minnesota’s Gilead River, Odie O’Banion is an orphan confined to the Lincoln Indian Training School, a pitiless place where his lively nature earns him the superintendent’s wrath. Forced to flee after committing a terrible crime, he and his brother, Albert, their best friend, Mose, and a brokenhearted little girl named Emmy steal away in a canoe, heading for the mighty Mississippi and a place to call their own.
Over the course of one summer, these four orphans journey into the unknown and cross paths with others who are adrift, from struggling farmers and traveling faith healers to displaced families and lost souls of all kinds. With the feel of a modern classic, This Tender Land is an enthralling, big-hearted epic that shows how the magnificent American landscape connects us all, haunts our dreams, and makes us whole.

Retrieved from the PO today. I’m really looking forward to this book! Thanks for the tag!
This book is set in Minnesota during the 1930s and follows a group of young orphans trying to survive a violent boarding school for Native Americans. As they make their way down the river to St Louis, the book tells of their journey and the people they meet along the way. I loved all of the faith overtones and this is definitely one of my top reads for 2020.
