Red River Rose

By Carole Lindstrom

This adventurous historical novel by bestselling author Carole Lindstrom offers readers a dramatic portrayal of a young M tis girl who takes a stand to protect her way of life.

Rose, her family, and the M tis people have lived on the land for generations. She spends afternoons tracking rabbits and gathering roots with her best friend, Ambroise, and her little sister, Delia. She loves to watch the ferry arrive, delivering goods and the latest news to their remote community.

But then Rose's parents start speaking in hushed tones, discussing whether they should "join the Resistance." When she learns that the government wants to push the M tis off their land again, Rose feels angry. This is the home they love--and the land they tend to with care and respect. Determined to help preserve their way of life, Rose sets out on an adventure that will test her bravery more than she ever expected.

Set amid the Northwest Resistance of 1885, where the M tis people fought to defend the land, this powerful historical tale by New York Times bestselling author Carole Lindstrom illuminates the often forgotten side of life on the prairie.
