Reviews

What an eye-opener! I was born and raised in Bartlesville and am a Cherokee Nation citizen, yet I had never heard of Phyllis Jean Warren or Buster Youngwolfe. Hunter's book intersperses the story of this tragic murder with the tainted and intriguing history of Tulsa. I couldn't stop reading this book. It has `movie' written all over it! -Becky Hobbs, singer, songwriter, and playwright -- Becky Hobbs Oklahoma's Atticus is a book that readers will not want to put down until they find out who wins, the young public defender or the experienced prosecutor, and which prevails, manipulation of the law or the rule of law. -Daniel Littlefield, director of the Sequoyah National Research Center -- Daniel Littlefield In this haunting story of his courageous grandfather's successful defense of a young Cherokee man wrongfully accused of the brutal murder of an eleven-year-old girl, Hunter Howe Cates delivers a powerful book that makes true-crime fiction seem tame and predictable. Oklahoma's Atticus does not sensationalize violence and human suffering but offers context and depth to a horrific crime that remains unsolved. -Michael Wallis, bestselling author of The Best Land Under Heaven: The Donner Party in the Age of Manifest Destiny -- Michael Wallis
