When Landreaux Iron accidentally shoots his 5 year old neighbor, the Iron family attempts to right the wrong by following the old way: they giving their neighbors, The Ravich's, their own 5 year old son.

Oh my goodness, it's as heartbreaking as it sounds. But little LaRose is a wise soul and Louise Erdrich did an amazing job weaving together so many storylines to share a story of resilience, perseverance, and love. I loved reading this novel!
