The Road Back to Sweetgrass
2014•Author:Linda LeGarde Grover
[https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-road-back-to-sweetgrass/image_mini]
powerful debut novel of love, hardship, and family bonds on an American Indian
reservation—from the author of the award-winning short story collection The
Dance Boots
Set in northern Minnesota, this novel follows a trio of American Indian women,
from the 1970s to the present, observing their lives intersect on the fictional
Mozhay Point reservation. Linda LeGarde Grover connects the sense of place with
the experience of Native women who came of age during the days of the federal
termination policy and the struggle for tribal self-determination.
With the grace of a dancer lifted by spirit and grounded in the well-worn earth
beneath her feet, Linda LeGarde Grover tells a circular tale of life on and off
the Reservation. Generous, ironic, and often gut-wrenching,The Road Back to
Sweetgrass is at its large heart a book about the power of home and the
inexorable connections between land, people, and stories.
