Sue's Reviews > Looking for Lost Bird: A Jewish Woman Discovers Her Navajo Roots

2015: In my desire to focus on my TBR books this year, I pulled this off the shelf and am so glad I did. I really enjoyed this story. Yvette tells her story of finding her Navajo family and moving to the reservation with unflinching honesty, interspersed with stories of her earlier life. The story is interesting and her attempts to learn about Navajo culture and begin to live in harmony were quite touching. The descriptions of Navajo religious life were fascinating and I found myself intrigued by many of the philosophical ideas. This was a very good read.

Navajo proverb: "Walk in harmony within the universe by being aware of who you are." p. 135

2008: This book is the basis for the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, "The Lost Child", which I just watched from Netflix and really enjoyed. So I need to read the book now.
