This Tender Land

About this book

In Depression-era Minnesota, Odie lives under harsh authority at the Lincoln Indian Training School. When remaining there becomes impossible, he escapes with his brother Albert and two other children. They take to the rivers in a canoe, searching for somewhere they can belong.

Their journey through a troubled country brings encounters beyond the institution they have fled. Survival depends on the bond between the four travellers and their hope of finding a home.
