Minnesota, 1970s: It's spring in the Red River Valley and Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman and sheriff's assistant investigator, is doing fieldwork for a local farmer--until she finds him dead on the kitchen floor of the property's rented farmhouse. The tenant, a Native field laborer, and his wife are nowhere to be found, but Cash discovers their young daughter, Shawnee, cowering under a bed. The girl, a possible witness to the killing, is too terrified to speak. In the wake of the murder, Cash can't deny her intuitive abilities: She is suspicious of the farmer's grieving widow, who offers to take Shawnee in temporarily. Cash scours the White Earth reservation for Shawnee's missing mother, desperate to find her before the girl is put into the foster system Cash knows so well. The threat escalates when another body turns up, and Cash races the clock to uncover the truth of what happened in the farmhouse. Broken Fields is a compelling, atmospheric read woven with details of American Indian life in northern Minnesota, abusive farm labor practices and women's liberation.
