INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! A magnificent novel
about four orphans on a life-changing odyssey during the Great
Depression. 1932, Minnesota—the Lincoln School is a pitiless
place where hundreds of Native American children, forcibly
separated from their parents, are sent to be educated. It is
also home to an orphan named Odie O’Banion, a lively boy whose
exploits earn him the superintendent’s wrath. Forced to flee, he
and his brother Albert, their best friend Mose, and a
brokenhearted little girl named Emmy steal away in a canoe,
heading for the mighty Mississippi and a place to call their
own. This Tender Land is an enthralling, big-hearted epic that
shows how the magnificent American landscape connects us all,
haunts our dreams, and makes us whole.
Characters: 127. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
