Apple is a good book by author Eric Gansworth.
The term Apple is a buzzword among indigenous communities around the country. It is for someone who is said to be red on the outside, white on the inside.
Eric Gansworth is telling his story in Apple. The story of his family, of the Onondaga among the Tuscaroras, of the natives everywhere. From the terrible legacy of government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and come back and leave again, to a young man fighting to become a balancing artist many worlds.
Eric breaks that word and takes it back in verse, prose, and truly vivid imagery that comes from heartbreak.
