Work Description
A young Navajo boy is sold into slavery in New Mexico, and he dreams of returning to his home canyon and family. For four long miserable years he does back-breaking labor on a New Mexican hacienda. His loneliness is made bearable by a relation of friendship with the owner's son,Tomas, and a grudging regard for the White overseer, Jake. The story teems with adventure, drama, horses, subplots, and complex human relationships. The interweaving of these elements and the boy's disillusionment upon his escape and return home, result in an absorbing and deeply touching reading experience which reinforces social and moral values and underlines the resiliency of the human spirit.
