I have long wanted an insight into the American Indian mind. This is a true story, of a five year old boy, orphaned at 5, who was then brought up for the next five years as a Cherokee, by his Grampa and Gramma. It is an absolutely fabulous book, it will make you cry with joy, and cry with sadness. I can't think when I was last so touched, and indeed, I spoke directly to Forrest Carter who passed on in 1979, and he gave me a hug. That just increased the tears I felt. These guys were truly in touch with all that is.
