About the book

A Calm and Normal Heart

A Calm & Normal Heart by Chelsea T. Hicks
ISBN 9781951213541 Unnamed Press

From Oklahoma to California, the heroes of A Calm & Normal Heart are modern-day homesteaders, adventurers, investigators—seeking out new places to call their own inside a Nation to which they do not entirely belong. A member of the Osage tribe, author Chelsea T. Hicks’ stories are compelled by an overlooked diaspora inside America: that of young Native people. More about this book >
