Book 3 in the Montana Maverick-a-thon. And thank Christ we're back up to five stars after the stinker that was book 2.
This was a thoughtful and super interesting read about two seriously lovely people trying to reconcile their white upbringing with their Northern Cheyenne heritage. The majority of this book takes place on the 'res', and the majority of the cast were the people who lived and worked there. It was seriously nice to have characters that felt like actual real honest to God people, warts and all, insecurities and frustrations, successes and celebrations and all the day-to-day shit, good and bad, that goes with most people and communities. And how nice to NOT have some fetishized tokenistic Native American character who exists alone amidst an entirely white cast, whose only purpose is to shock whitey and to reel off some ham-handed canned wisdom about prejudice (Diana Palmer I'm looking at you).
More of this in the Montana Mavericks series and I'll be a happy camper.

This was a really good book. It's about Jackson Hawk, the lawyer for the Northern Cheyenne. Maggie
Schaeffer is the Indian grand-daughter of Annie Little Dear who has never been on an Indian Reservation. Maggie is there to gather information about what the people on the res. need to give to Congressman Baldwin of Montana. Both Jackson and Maggie have some deep problems about how they are perceived by Indian and Whites on and off the res. Really fun and enjoyable read.
