"Through the story of his Uncle David and grandmother Rosa, renowned native writer and storyteller Basil Johnston offers a funny, affectionate and unforgettable portrait of reservation life in this century. The last of Rosa McLeod's five sons, David was born with Down Syndrome. Unable to care for himself, he and the indomitable Rosa were to be forever bound together, joined by love and necessity in a life already defined by harsh, sometimes tragic circumstances."--Page 4 of cover.
