The heart-rending story of a Native American community told through the generations, from the author of New York Times bestseller There There

Following its unforgettable characters through almost two centuries of history, from the horrors of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1865 to the aftermath of a mass shooting in the early 21st century, Wandering Stars is an indelible novel of America’s war on its own people.

It is also the tender, shattering story of many generations of a Native American family, struggling to find ways through displacement, addiction and pain, towards home and hope.

New readers will discover a wondrous novel of poetry, music, rage and love, from one of the most astonishing voices of his generation.
