  “Wow. Great story. A reminder of the differences in cultures. The 'heroine' has an entirely different way of reacting than I would....all cultural differences...”

  “You don't have to be an athlete to read this book and enjoy it. It is so touching and gives you a brief inside look at how basketball is a way of life on the reservation and the wonderful people involved in their lives.”

  “This book is well-written and frustrating because of the accuracy (and actuality) of the situations portrayed. The author caught some heat for it-- it is a basketball book, but it is also a reservation lifestyle book, and the reporter who wrote it is a white outsider. Controversial, but a good read.”
