I am reviewing a copy of Rain Is Not My Indian Name:

Six months ago Cassidy Rain Berghoff’s best friend, Galen, died, and she has succeeded in shutting herself off from the world. But when controversy arises around Aunt Georgia’s Indian Camp in their mostly white midwestern community, Rain decides to face the outside world again, with a new job photographing the campers for her town’s newspaper.

It doesn’t take long for Rain to decide how involved she wants to become in Indian Camp. Does she want to keep a professional distance from her fellow Native teens? Despite her grief will she be able to embrace new friends and new beginnings?

I give Rain Is Not My Indian five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
