In territory long held by Tony Hillerman, Schonberg explores the life and customs of contemporary Navajo Indians in this debut novel. Unlike Hillerman's work, this is not a mystery but the story of Dr. John Hartman, a young physician with the Indian Health Service in Gallup, New Mexico. The town's Indian population is threatened when a critically ill Navajo boy is brought to the hospital with a deadly contagious disease. The town elders push for quarantines and other measures prejudicial to inhabitants of the reservation. Hartman, sensitive to native customs, attempts to beat disease and social injustice while putting his own life back together.
