The St. Luke book group will meet in the Garden Court to discuss Sing for the Red Dress by Oglala Lakota author Joseph Marshall. All are welcome.

This book is both a love story between university professor Dr. Gavin Lone Wolf and Washington, D.C., lawyer Katherine Hill, and a haunting narrative of the ongoing problem of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) on Indian reservations. An issue that has been neglected for years in real life by both the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the FBI, partly due to jurisdictional conflicts, the fictional Smokey River Tribal Police Force decides to make a difference when they find the names of twelve Native girls who are thought to have been abducted for sex trafficking to oil field workers. Risking their own lives to rescue the girls, the tribal police—along with others, including Gavin Lone Wolf and Katherine Hill—infiltrate the oil camps and dig deeper, uncovering a cultured but ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to maintain his power.
