Fiction. Native American Studies. Reissue with introduction by Isabel Quintero. Sixteen-year-old Margueritte wants out. Out of her small town, where girls get pregnant young and end up stuck, like her mom. Out of a family where her Native American mother won't leave her white, alcoholic, abusive father. Margueritte hopes if she and her cousin Jake sell enough weed, they can at least escape to Denver one day. That's when Mike comes to town. Like Margueritte, he loves to read, he's funny, and he's Indian. A coming-of-age novel about the female, urban Indian experience, CRAZY HORSE'S GIRLFRIEND is not only a gritty, unexpectedly funny, page-turning novel about a girl who just wants a little bit more--it's an instant classic.
