Book 2 of the Trilogy. It’s 1891 and fourteen year-old half-Lakota Red Dove escapes Indigenous boarding school to tour Europe with Annie Oakley and survivors of Wounded Knee in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. Her grandfather’s medicine pouch has taught her empathy. Now, she must find the courage to speak her truth–and bring her worlds together.

“This book is brilliant for both boys and girls from aged 8 to young adult and not forgetting us adults who love reading the children’s books we wished we had when we were younger…”

“If you have a middle grade reader who likes historical fiction that has the ability to teach powerful lessons, I highly recommend Red Dove, Tell Truth to Darkness…”

“I appreciate that this book makes it easy to pick up even if you have not read the first book in the series… I also appreciate that it is clearly grounded deeply in Lakota tradition and does not gloss over the harsh reality of how white colonizers treated Lakota and other tribes, whether it was on reservations, in boarding schools, or other places…”

“This is wonderful historical fiction for younger readers with a wise and brave Lakota protagonist…”

“The story is compelling to the end, unfolding events and locations rapidly…”

“Beautifully written and full of engaging characters, this is a tale to treasure…”
