Three non-Native men bind themselves to the Lakota culture through marriage. An authentic family saga rich in historical detail offers a profound human perspective on intermarriages in the 19th century. Follow their struggles and triumphs as they search for a home in the American West, navigating the complexities of assimilation, displacement, and the traumatic impact of government boarding schools. Experience the era when two worlds collided, creating a new family identity centered on love.

I Remember Turtle Woman is gleaned from two author memories: Hauff's introduction to Elsie Flood, aka Turtle Woman, in the early 1960s and learning about her death in 1991. As a child, Hauff was fascinated with Flood's fearless nomadic lifestyle. When she heard about Flood's brutal murder that occurred during a dark time in recent Lakota history, Hauff grasped the heartbreaking reality of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
