Mary Wallace Roanhorse - Tapa blanda

Mary Wallace Roanhorse describes the rich and full world of a half-Navajo, half-African American female who leaves behind reservation poverty and rises above parental neglect and sexual abuse in foster care. While working as a lawyer in Phoenix during a modern Christian crusade, called Restoration, Mary becomes friends with Charlie, a gay Irishman twice her age. He provides the support necessary for her to overcome her abusive childhood and reclaim her identity. She climbs out of the mind numbing personal world where she often retreated to keep her rage from overwhelming her. After rescuing a young woman at the scene of a street riot between Restoration Christian crusaders and Waves Liberation resisters, and now a hero in her own right, she embraces her Navajo origins and takes action to bring her abuser to justice.
