{"product_id":"home-waltz-9781989287644","title":"Home Waltz","description":"Fiction. Native American Studies. In 1973, fifteen-year old, or Squito Bob, is a mixed-blood NleᎮkepmx boy trying to find his place in a small, mostly Native town. His closest friends are three nleᎮkepmx boys and a white kid, an obnoxious runt who thinks himself superior to his friends. Accepted as neither Native nor white, Squito often feels like the stray dog of the group and envisions a short, disastrous life for himself. HOME WALTZ follows the boys over thirty-six hours on what should be one of the best weekends of their lives. With a senior girls volleyball tournament in town, Squito's favourite band performing, and enough alcohol for ten people, the boys dream of girls, dancing and possibly romance. A story of love, heartbreak and tragedy, HOME WALTZ delves into suicide, alcohol abuse, body image insecurities, and systemic racism. A coming of age story like no other, HOME WALTZ speaks to one indigenous youth's experience of growing up in a world that doesn't want or trust him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palimpsest Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781989287644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Gord Grisenthwaite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38607614902453,"sku":"9781989287644","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ae815c91-bd52-4079-b808-0568e87c1736.jpg?v=1614089664","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/home-waltz-9781989287644","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
