Brandon Hobson's remarkable, moving novel, Where the Dead Sit Talking , follows year-old Sequoyah as he becomes the foster child of Harold and Agnes Troutt, a middle-aged couple already fostering year-old George and year-old Rosemary. While these writers are important to me as a reader, a writer, and as a Cherokee, I should add that there are also many short story collections, books of poetry, and memoirs that represent an active campaign for the traditions and values of Native American culture.

It's the story of a World War II veteran named Abel who returns home to try and adjust to living back in the world he once lived in, but he struggles, gets drunk a lot and fights and then commits a murder that lands him in jail for a while.
