A River Odyssey Through the Great Depression
The summer of 1932 finds twelve-year-old Odie O'Banion and his older brother Albert living as the only white children at the Lincoln Indian Training School in Minnesota. Under the cruel supervision of the Brickmans-whom the children call "the Black Witch"-the school functions as a prison where Native American children are stripped of their culture and subjected to abuse. Odie's rebellious spirit frequently lands him in the "quiet room," a small cell where his only companion is a rat he names Faria. Unlike his rule-following brother Albert, Odie questions authority and finds solace in playing his harmonica. The brothers have formed a tight bond with two other orphans: Mose, a mute Sioux boy whose tongue was cut out when he was found beside his murdered mother, and Emmy, a sweet young girl recently orphaned when her mother was killed by a tornado. When a series of tragic events unfolds-including Odie accidentally killing a sadistic staff member who had murdered another student-the four children flee in a canoe down the Gilead River. Their destination is Saint Louis, where they believe they may have a living relative. With the Brickmans in pursuit, the children embark on a journey that will test their courage, loyalty, and understanding of both the world and themselves.
