From the very first day of kindergarten, adults have asked Edie "where are you from?" When she answers "Seattle," they still want to know where her parents are "originally" from. And that's the problem. Her dad is American, white, with ancestors from Germany, England, and Wales. Her mom is Native American. So everyone wants to know what tribe she's from, what buffalo tastes like and stuff like that. The problem is that Edie doesn't know anything about her mom's family because she was adopted. Edie's grown up like any other kid in Seattle. The only contact she has with the nearby reservation is that it's a place they can go and set off fireworks on the Fourth of July. And its where she is recognized for the first time, by a boy named named Roger who says "You look Native." Then she discovers a mysterious box filled with letters from a women named Edith. Could it be her grandmother?
