The Broken Cord In Stock Now

In 1971, Michael Dorris became one of the first single men to legally adopt. The child was a very young Sioux Indian child whom Dorris named Adam. Little was known about Adam's history beyond that he was born to a mother who had died of alcohol poisoning. This book provides an intensely personal and historically important autobiographical account of the struggles Adam and his father contended with each and every day as they faced the staggering effect of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
