Half-blood Blue Fox hates the children in his white school. He hates his white parents, too. Thrown into the white world when his dying mother leaves him with Ben and Sarah so he will have a future, Blue must endure those who mock him, while wanting only to return to his native Lakota. As time passes, Blue learns to love his surrogate parents and his surroundings, until a cruel, racist man drives him from them. Finding his Lakota relatives, he learns acceptance is not easily won-anywhere. When he does prove himself and becomes one of The People, Long Hair Custer comes to the Little Bighorn to tear it all away. This is a story of coming of age, learning, acceptance, and love.
