Nun on the Rez

By Marcia Dahlinghaus

When Sister Valerie comes to the Navajo Nation, her desire to support an indigenous people becomes not only a living and learning experience, but also one of surprises and sorrows. Friendship, conflicts and murder intertwine in events that mirror the contemporary Navajo experience. Valerie takes her cues on how to serve from the tribal members rather than from the white Western European colonialist perspective as having all the proper responses about life.

The book is a mixture of mystery, intrigue and oppression by a greedy corporation, cozy and conflictual episodes of life, and feelings and thoughts from a white woman's perspective as she experiences contemporary life in an unfamiliar culture.
