UP HEARTBREAK HILL
Thomas and Tamara are track stars at their rural New Mexico
high schooL Like many teenagers, they are torn
between the Lure of brighter coLLege
futures elsewhere and
the ties that bind them to home. For these teens, however, home is an impoverished town on the
Navajo reservation, and Leaving means separating from family, tradition
and the Land that has been theirs for
generations. Erica Scharf's Up Heartbreak Hillis a moving Look at high school
graduation for a new generation of Americans struggling to be both Native and
modern.
