Mary Two Dogs is lost. She grew up in New York the only child of musician parents, but when they die in a car accident coming back from a gig, she’s shipped off to live with her Aunt Janet in Georgia. The South is a strange new world to her, and she becomes the target of racist attacks from some of the other girls. Her Aunt Janet, an undercover FBI agent can’t move, but to keep Mary safe, she sends her to the Assiniboin reservation in Montana.
There Mary has to learn to deal with a whole new world, a completely different set of expectations. Pitied for her lack of understanding of her people, she must learn what it means to be Assiniboin and who she is. To do that, she must find her true name.
Assiniboin Girl is an amazing Native American YA Novel, there aren't many books about this topic, and every great book is just one more on the list. A beautiful story about learning about your heritage, the end is just really sad for the main character Mary. I got an e-book of Assiniboin Girl because the author asked me if I wanted to read and review it. I am pleased that she did that, otherwise I had missed this great novel, wich hopefully will be out in print someday!
