Beskrivelse
Real people. Real suffering. Real hate.
Read the story our government never wanted revealed
This emotionally gripping, brutally invasive tale of Native Americans wrongly committed, abused, and tortured in our nation's only Indian insane asylum during the 1920s will touch your very soul.
This powerful narrative is unputdownable, unforgettable, and an unbelievable combination of drama, conflict, and romance.
Taken from true events in the records of the South Dakota State Archives, this long hidden world of heartbreak takes you to the darkest depths of the human spirit.

It was the roaring 20s, and Americans were living the dream, except for...
... the hundreds of Native Americans wrongly committed to our nation's only Indian insane asylum. Once there, they endured unimaginable torture and abuse with no hope of ever being set free. The unrelenting power of love must overcome the hateful forces if they are to survive.
Fallen Hopes, Taken Dreams is a must-read for Red Hearts and all fans of US historical and Native American literature.
