When twelve-year-old Jake Forrest's mother gets a job in a new city, everything changes.
He has to move away from the Iroquois reservation he's lived on his entire life--away from his aunt and uncle, and away from the friends he plays lacrosse with.
The lacrosse coach and players at his new school in Washington, D.
, believe that winning is everything, and they don't know anything about the ways of his people.
As Jake struggles to find a place where he truly belongs, tragedy strikes and he must find out who he really is.
Can he find courage to face the warrior within--the warrior who values peace and leads other to more noble pursuits than outscoring the opposition?.
