About the Book

In this remarkable follow-up to his award-winning The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams, pseudo-Native American author Nasdijj documents another father-son relationship. Here, the author relates how eleven-year-old Awee came to live with him, bringing along a life of abuse and AIDS, whom the author adopted after Tommy's death.
