In this powerful family saga, this book tells the story of the author's family’s move from Oklahoma Choctaw country to Pasadena, TX. Spanning 50 years, Saltypie describes the problems faced by his Choctaw grandmother—from her orphan days at an Indian Residential School to hardships encountered in her new home on the Gulf Coast.
