Summary
"In this haunting memoir, Yvette Melanson tells of being raised to believe that she was white and Jewish. At age forty-three, she learned that she was 'Lost Bird, ' a Navajo child taken against her family's wishes, and that her grieving birth mother had never stopped looking for her until the day she died."--Cover.
