"One Sunday in the spring of 1988\, a woman living on a reservation i n North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface a s Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what h appened\, either to the police or to her husband\, Bazil\, and 13-year-old son\, Joe. In one day\, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries t o heal his mother\, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone\, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely in to an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
\nWhile his father\, who is a tribal judge\, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts\, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigatio n and sets out with his trusted friends\, Cappy\, Zack\, and Angus\, to ge t some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House \, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only th e beginning."
\nThe Round House is available on Hoopla as an ebook and eaudiobook. On Overdrive as an ebook and eaudiobook \, as well!
