"Her name is Renee Blackbear, but most people call the nineteen-year-old Anishinabe woman "Cash." She drives truck for cash. She plays pool for cash. She pays with cash. Now she's in college, thanks to her mentor Sherriff Wheaton, the guy who pulled her from her mother's wrecked car when she was three. Cash has navigated through foster homes and, at 13, was working farms, driving truck. Wheaton wants her to take hold of her life, signs her up at Moorhead State. Turns out she's smart, real smart, but she's a duck out of water. Her classmates talk mostly about nothing, not like the working men she's known all her life. They talk dirt and fertilizer, weather and prices on the Grain Exchange. Then Cash hears about a blonde girl in her English class gone missing. And then another. One night, after drinking beer and shooting pool, a man who claims he's her brother knocks on the door. She begins to dream blonde girls calling for help. They're in Minneapolis. She's never been far from the Red River. She's never heard of White Slavery. And, then, suddenly she's locked inside a room with the lost girls. She needs to find a way out" -- Provided by publisher.
