The novel “In the Night of Memory” by Linda LeGarde Grover of the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe weaves a story about family history that includes the people that sometimes get brushed over or are forgotten. Foster placement and war are two of the forces that change the lives of the Natives characters we meet in this month’s literary feature. They must look inside to face challenges and accept the reality that reconnecting with family is not always easy. We’ll sit down with the Native author to get insights on her latest.

Very interesting issue that has touched me personally. I was adopted by Caucasian family and did not connect with my birth family until I was in my early 30’s. I have not read any of her books but just ordered “The Road back to Sweetgras”. In a similar topic I speak to groups about the Split Feather Syndrome. I love reading stories about our Native people and look forward to reading Linda’s books.
Love listening to Native American Calling!
