My favorite books teach me something about myself and the world I live in. Dovetails in Tall Grass taught me about the land I grew up on and I finally learned WHY there are few (or maybe none) indigenous people in southern Minnesota — a question I never asked in any of my history courses growing up.
Dovetails in Tall Grass is a bittersweet story of two women - one Dakota and one white - learning to survive in a world that is at odds with what they each personally believe.
Based on true events, Dovetails in Tall Grass brings light to a particular dark moment in Midwest and especially Minnesota history with an understanding there are multiple sides to every conflict and we must stop, listen and learn to respect each other.
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
