The Legacy of a Stolen Nation Deftly Braided By Three Stories Debut fiction novel bears witness to all that was taken to find light again

Through the intertwined stories of Cheyenne warrior Little Wolf, General Custer, and single mother Nancy Swiftfox, author Angie Elita Newell skillfully recounts the catastrophic events of the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn and the subsequent struggles faced by those on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1972 during the height of the American Indian Movement.

All I See Is Violence weaves love, loss, and hard truths into a story that needs to be told—a journey through violence to bear witness to all that was taken, to honor what all of our ancestors lived through, and to heal by acknowledging the shadows to find the light.

Award-winning Indigenous writer Angie Elita Newell unveils her latest literary triumph, All I See Is Violence (Greenleaf Book Group, Jan. 16, 2024), a powerful narrative braiding together the lives of a woman warrior, a ruthless general, and a single mother whose stories converge in the haunting legacy of a stolen nation. Scheduled for release on January 16, this novel promises to be an impactful exploration of history, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a people.

“All I See Is Violence brilliantly depicts the harsh realities of life for Native Americans, past and present. Angie Elita Newell is an extraordinarily gifted writer who has authored what will prove to be a timeless classic of literature.”

-Dr. Robert Mallett, author of Mussolini in Ethiopia, 1919–1935

"There is no confusion between the Nancy-George connection in the present and the Little Wolf-Custer connection in the past, and Newell does a beautiful job of weaving them all together. History tells us what happens at the end of this battle, but Angie Elita Newell makes it personal, especially after witnessing Little Wolf's evolution into a warrior worthy of the storyline's heart. Very highly recommended."

-Readers' Favorite
