In the 1950s, strong-willed Kit Crockett is ripped from her Cherokee family and sent to a religious boarding school, where she is stripped of her heritage and abused until she decides to fight back.
A young Cherokee girl in the 1950s American South narrates the events resulting in her placement in a residential school. Karen “Kit” Crockett is just a girl, but she’s already experienced more loss than most. In the aftermath of a tragedy, local clerical and legal authorities compel Kit to attend a nearby boarding school. Evoking the title, the varied meanings of “steal” (both to abscond and to creep) weave throughout the story in clever ways. Verble’s skillful storytelling does justice to a harrowing chapter of history.
