Zusammenfassung:In between, she recounts how she was named, her memories as a young child, the stories of her elders, her experiences at boarding school, and the destructive effects of alcohol within her family. Loeb's desire to protect "Lillian's right to speak for herself' led her to write down Hogan's stories in a way that preserves Crow storytelling conventions.
