In this haunting memoir, Yvette Melanson tells of being raised to believe that she was white and Jewish. At age forty-three, she learned that she was a 'Lost Bird,' a Navajo child taken against her family's wishes, and that her grieving birth mother had never stopped looking for her until the day she died.

I read a lot and its not often I find a book that totally fascinates me like this one did. Not only was the subject matter really unique and interesting, it was written exceptionally well. Bad writing can make even an interesting subject hard to read. I would, and have, recommended this book!
