| Summary: | Even if it hurts to leave behind his friends and family in Navajo, New Mexico-especially his great-grandmother, Mildred-Derrick knows his scholarship to an elite East Coast boarding school is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sagefield Academy is totally different from life on the His new classmates vacation in Europe and take study drugs. Derrick wants to stick to caffeine, but handling sports, school, and a twenty-page term paper, all while dodging comments about his hair and heritage, feels straight-up impossible. Back home, Masani Mildred's health is fading quickly. On the phone, she begs Derrick to leave Sagefield. When he realizes her fear comes from her time in federal Native boarding schools, he knows he's finally found the term paper theme he believes carrying her voice into the future. Derrick will need to shatter a steadfast generational silence to untangle his great-grandmother's memories-though her story might change him, and his family, forever. |
