Newly Released Book by Native American Author Wayne Adams

Wayne Adams is proud to announce his latest book The Odyssey of Amanda Iron Bear. 

The Odyssey of Amanda Iron Bear is a compelling work of fiction that is based on a real-world crisis that is seldom discussed. And that is missing indigenous women in both the United States and Canada.

The author watched a documentary on PBS during the Covid lockdown, about missing indigenous women. He had never heard of this before and began researching it on his phone. The library was closed due to Covid, and he researched his phone. During his research he developed the idea for the fictional book. Within the story, Amanda Iron Bear is a contemporary 17-year-old Sioux girl.  She experiences a series of disturbing dreams that warn her about evil people who wish to do her harm. To her utter surprise, she is kidnapped by human traffickers.

The story is set on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and features a young indigenous woman who is a victim of human trafficking.
