The mindset of the little girl

I liked how she dealt with people and family around her - both the good and the bad.

Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Gripping and important story, with wonderful and engaging characters.
So much of the history of the U.S. has been hidden, and it is authors like Ms. Verble who help bring it out in the open.

Margaret Verble, master storyteller

Stealing is a compelling story of a native girl in eastern Oklahoma who liberates herself from abuse. Beautifully written and beautifully narrated. Margaret Verble is a master story teller.

Ended too soon.

I thought it was interesting. There a lot of truth in the story. Native children were stolen from their families and many suffered horrible abuse. I would like to have read more, seeing justice given to the abusers.

Unforgettable Character and Story

Kit Crockett is a character you won't soon forget. She narrates this coming of age story through flashbacks to the life she had before she was removed from her Cheorokee family and sent to a Christian residential school. She is a smart and resourceful child whose innocence is stolen from her when tragedy strikes. We come to learn of the circumstances surrounding her removal to the boarding school and the abuse (including sexual abuse) she endures before and during her stay there. Margaret Verble has written a powerful story. To me, the ending was a bit unsatisfying but overall it was well worth listening to/reading. The performance was stellar. DeLanna Studi perfectly captures the voice of Kit.
