In the 1950s, Kit Crockett, a mixed Cherokee child, loses her mother to tuberculosis, yet has a contented life with her father until, through the ploys of white community members, she is taken from her family and sent to a “boarding school” as a ward of the state. “Stealing” is simply and beautifully written by Margaret Verble, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
