Description
Set in rural Oklahoma during the late 1980s, Where the Dead Sit Talking is a powerful and poignant Native American coming-of-age story. Fifteen-year-old Sequoyah, a Cherokee boy, navigates the challenges of his troubled past after being placed in foster care with the Troutt family. As he forms a bond with seventeen-year-old Rosemary, a fellow foster child and artist, Sequoyah begins to confront the scars of his mother's years of substance abuse. Their shared Native American heritage and tumultuous paths through the foster care system create a deep connection between them, but also threaten to undo their fragile lives. This moving novel explores the complexities of identity, community, and resilience in the face of adversity, offering a deeply human and relatable portrayal of life on the margins.
