Book Reviews of The Light in the Forest

Book Review: Ultimately, True Son can only be true to the white race.
Summary: 3 Stars

Though, geared toward adolescents, Ricter's novel contains adult themes and is an excellent introduction to stereotypical racial prejudices. Disappointingly, Richter choses not to take a stand, instead pointing out faults and strengths of both European Americans and Native Americans. The ending of the book, contradicts the title as True Son betrays his Indian relatives. Still, Richter wants the reader to know there is still hope to bridge the racial divide; there is still "light in the forest."
