review 1: This book is full of short anecdotes from Wagamese's past and his search for his native roots. This is a remarkable book, giving the reader a real sense of how many native people have lost touch with their true identity and are struggling to fit into a society which really doesn't understand them, or always have room for them. This book is an encouragement to those who have been abused, and unfairly treated and that there can be healing and forgiveness and the possibility of a new life. Whilst on the one hand, there is a lot of spirituality in this book, there is also a lot of common sense and wisdom too.

He had difficulties adjusting to their ways and ended up leaving home in his early teens. He didn't know where he belonged, but after years of wondering and self-educating himself through our libraries he does reconnect with his native family and learns his culture and finds peace within himself. less
