A really good story about growing up in small town South Dakota--the western and more desolate part. Growing up in the '60s & '70s from what it sounded like and with kids that didn't really fit in with others. Throw in parents that didn't really get along very well and some native American prejudicious and the oldest 2 being ballet dancers in a small town, well the kids are a little screwed up, at least the 2 oldest. The youngest doesn't get mentioned much in the book but seems more like the get along with everyone type kid. Was hard to read at points because you could see the trainwreck coming for the oldest and maybe even the 2nd too. Their older lives only get sporadic mentions but oldest had the troubled life. The 2nd oldest, well not really sure how she played out, seems like sort of figured things out. I really enjoyed this book.
There are 3 WL for this one on PBS so will probably mail off at some point.
