Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan

4.0

Well crafted book about a young Indian girl left a widow at 13. Gives insight into the traditions and superstitions that prevent women escape their so called destiny. A little in the tone of the works of Deborah Ellis & my same critique- why does it take a white North American woman to tell these tales? While I'm sure they have the best intentions and undoubtedly write very well, why are these women not telling their own stories- and if they did would they find an audience?

Suitable for 10+
