A review of “Becoming Story: A Journey among Seasons, Places, Trees, and Ancestors” in 100 words by Catherine Stover
A reader will learn more about the facts of Greg Sarris’s life by reading his Wikipedia page than by reading his memoir. This book tells us little, for example, about his adoptive parents, his birth parents, or his siblings. Instead, he is interested in the history of his American Indian tribe and their connection to their land and animals. In an interview with the Washington Post, he describes his sense of responsibility to do his part for his people. He says, “Many people come to a place. We come from it.” His story is about the power of invisible interconnections.
