Montana 1948 - II

David's mother Gail Hayden was a religious woman who works as secretary in the Register of Deeds Office, and Gloria and Frank, David's aunt and uncle who returned home as a war hero. At that time, the status of war hero was very much appreciated and he will become one of the most important characters of the story. An unfortunate case of possible pneumonia sets the events of the story. When Marie falls ill, David's mother, Gail, realizes the she had a very high fever and she was coughing much; she decides to call Frank, the family doctor, even in opposition to Maria's will. When rank goes to see Maria, she had a strange reaction against the doctor, and attitude that nobody understands. After the visit of the doctor Marie tells Gail the truth about the doctor and she narrates how the doctor was taking advantage of his doctor's position to take sexual advantage of the Natives. When Gail tells this to her husband Wesley, first he believes that everything is Marie's invention, but then realizes that she was quite true and there it is when the story begins more exciting part. One of the main themes of these novels is recognizing the difference between family loyalty and justice; another theme that is not emphasized, but definitely present, is the treatment of whites toward Native Americans, and its abusing power. From my point of view, these facts will unleash a series of events between the Hayden brothers, where an investigation will be held by the Sheriff who will have to decide between what is right and wrong, between justice and family.
