A mixed-race girl must grow up quickly when danger threatens her world<\/p>\n

Rosalie\u2019s biggest problem used to be her own divided feelings. The constant tug-of-war between her white half and her Native American half is hard. She even has two names: Rosalie when she\u2019s at the fort with her father and Last Child when she\u2019s in the village with her mother.<\/p>\n

But now a steamboat<\/a> has carried smallpox<\/a> into Rosalie\u2019s world\u2014and the Mandans<\/a> have no resistance to the disease. Suddenly the name Last Child is all too real.<\/p>\n

Set during the smallpox epidemic of 1837<\/a>, this is the powerful story of a mixed-race girl fighting her way into adulthood against all odds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
