 p>When Lissa Yellow Bird was released from prison in 2009\, she found her 
 home\, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota\, transformed 
 by the Bakken oil boom. In her absence\, the landscape had been altered be
 yond recognition\, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests\, a
 nd her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three year
 s later\, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker\, Kristopher "K
 C" Clarke\, had disappeared from his reservation worksite\, she became par
 ticularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone\, and few people we
 re actively looking for him. Yellow Bird traces Lissa's steps as she obses
 sively hunts for clues to Clarke's disappearance. She navigates two worlds
 &mdash\;that of her own tribe\, changed by its newfound wealth\, and that 
 of the non-Native oilmen\, down on their luck\, who have come to find work
  on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit of Clarke is also a p
 ursuit of redemption\, as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with
  generations of trauma. Yellow Bird is an exquisitely written\, masterfull
 y reported story about a search for justice and a remarkable portrait of a
  complex woman who is smart\, funny\, eloquent\, compassionate\, and&mdash
 \;when it serves her cause&mdash\;manipulative. Drawing on eight years of 
 immersive investigation\, Sierra Crane Murdoch has produced a profound exa
 mination of the legacy of systematic violence inflicted on a tribal nation
  and a tale of extraordinary healing.</p>\n<p>&mdash\;From the catalog</p>
