Grandchildren meet their grandparents at the end, Denise Low says, as tragic figures. We remember their decline and deaths…. The story we see as grandchildren is like a garden covered by snow, just outlines visible. Low brings to light deeply held secrets of Native ancestry as she recovers the life story of her Kansas grandfather, Frank Bruner (1889-1963).
