About this title

Synopsis

When thirty-year-old Cecelia Capture Wells, an American Indian law student at Berkeley, is jailed on a drunk driving charge, but held to face another--initially unidentified--charge, she reflects on the course of her life

From the Back Cover

Cecelia Capture Welles, and Indian law student and mother of two, is jailed on her thirtieth birthday for drunk driving. Held on an old welfare fraud charge, she reflects back on her life on the reservation in Idaho, her days as and unwed mother in San Francisco, her marriage to a white liberal, and her decision to return to college. This mixed inheritance of ambition and despair brings her to the brink of suicide.
