by Joseph Bruchac

Sonny lives with his mother and father up near the Canadian border. Theirs isn't a peaceful household, given his father Jake' s sudden rages. Sonny's refuge is his mother, and his uncle Louis, a quiet, wise old man. Through an unexpected friendship with a new school librarian, Sonny gains enough confidence to stand up to his father, and to finally confront the family secret that will no longer stay buried.
