QUIET UNTIL THE THAW

Alexandra Fuller Loot.co.za (R333) Thorndike

LAKOTA Oglala Sioux Nation, South Dakota. Two Native American cousins, Rick Overlooking Horse and You Choose Watson find themselves at odds as they grapple with the implications of their shared heritage.

When escalating anger toward the injustices the federal government inflicted upon the Lakota people leads to tribal divisions and infighting, the cousins go in separate directions: Rick opts for the path of peace; You Choose, violence. Years pass, and Rick finds himself raising twin boys orphaned at birth.

But when You Choose returns after three decades behind bars, his anger disrupts their lives.

Quiet until the Thaw conjures the implications of an oppressed history, how we are bound to all who have come before and will come after.
