Summary of Mary Brave Bird's Ohitika Woman

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had become very depressed. I had no place to live, and my book had not sold well. I was constantly borrowing money from my co-author Richard. I was often getting drunk, and when I was, I would get rowdy and foul-mouthed. #2 I was partying with some friends on March 28 when I wrecked. I was taken to the tribal hospital, where they thought that my neck had been broken. I was flown to the big hospital at Sioux Falls. My mother came down from He Dog to be with me. #3 I had been going through a lot before the accident, and was depressed. I had been drinking heavily, and when I woke up after the surgery, I had a vision of my grandma, who had raised me, telling me to go back to the world and my responsibilities. #4 After the accident, I spent a month in the hospital. They put staples in my back and in other spots where I had surgery. I couldn’t move at all, and I had to call the nurse whenever I wanted to change position. I was eventually able to get around, but I was restless and tired of being cooped up in a hospital.
