Reviews"This is the best memoir I have read about family love, particularly a father's love for his son, since A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. In the end, this literally stunning book shows how the power to love offers both hope and redemption in the face of the very worst horrors that can befall a man, a boy, and a people." -- Howard Frank Mosher, author of THE FALL OF THE YEAR, An evocative, hypnotic, and painful work . . . Nasdijj confronts the evil in life . . . and writes against the darkness., [Nasdijj's] book reminds us that brave and engaging writers lurk in the most forgotten corners of society., "In THE BLOOD RUNS LIKE A RIVER THROUGH MY DREAMS, Nasdijj writes with almost unbearable beauty about what it is like to be an Indian, and, more important still, what it is like to be human. THE BLOOD RUNS LIKE A RIVER THROUGH MY DREAMS is the best memoir I have ever read about homelessness, abusiveness, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, the nomadic life, genocide in America, and life on an impoverished reservation. At the same time, it is the best memoir I have read about family love, particularly a father's love for his son, since A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. In the end, this literally stunning book shows how the power of love offers both hope and redemption in the face of the very worst horrors that can befall a man, a boy, and a people." -- Howard Frank Mosher, author of THE FALL OF THE YEAR and A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM, Done with such clarity and compassion . . . The stories and their implications are heartbreaking: but more importantly, they are heart expanding.
