Condition: Used

Based on the true story of the abduction of Hopi children by Spanish soldiers in mid-nineteenth century New Mexico, Truth Is a Bright Star follows eleven-year-old Loma as he is torn from his community and forced to navigate a world utterly foreign to everything he knows.

Taken in by a fur trapper who becomes his reluctant master, Loma finds himself holding fast to the Hopi Way — his people’s values, beliefs, and sense of truth — against the weight of a vastly different and powerful culture. What unfolds is a story of resilience, identity, and an unlikely friendship forged through a harsh winter.

A moving and culturally rich adventure for young readers and adults alike, with a new foreword by the author, updated glossary, revised bibliography, and original cover art by Enrique Moreiro.
