Once again, Dr. Bollendorf, with Donna Gluck, has woven a vivid and entertaining tapestry of dysfunctional family dynamics and the ripples of sadness that drug addiction causes. As the effects explode the romantic and familial relationships of the well-drawn characters, we see the radius of the blast expand to disrupt communities and cultures, particularly the Native American reservations and the tensions of coexistence with the white cities and towns. The themes of addiction, its treatment, and the recovery process are accurate and informative, but rather than simply exposit these valuable lessons, Autumn Snow wraps it all in an entertaining and suspenseful murder mystery.

Tall Moon loses his mother at age 11 and struggles with life in his village and school from that time forward, until the tribe elders decide to send him on a vision quest and the discoveries, he makes change his life and with practice can change the lives of the readers.
