“Among the ranks of contemporary writers, there remain some who know how to name—in the old ways—the confounding world around us. Pamela Steele is one such writer. She has listened closely to the voices most have forgotten. She has looked hard and long at the graceful, violent homeplace of her people. Her words unfurl like poems, delivered in dreams and visions and communions with the dead. In The Fields of Fatherless Children offers the reader a tale of survival, a geography of wounds, a multi-generational cartography of how to bear our scars and carry on.” —Glenn Taylor, author of The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart
