Born in 1954 to a white mother and a Cherokee father, Betty is the sixth of eight siblings, growing up in a rural town where poverty and loss are a constant presence. Despite the hardships she faces, Betty is resilient, with a curiosity about the natural world and a fierce love for her family, which kindles the fire of her own imagination. As Betty navigates the horrors of her family's past and present, she discovers an escape in writing.
