Once in a great while, a miracle of a book comes along, a gift that both touches the heart and engages the mind. Reservation Restless is such a book. Kristofic's entertaining, jaw-droppingly honest recollections of adventures and explorations on and off the Navajo Nation come with a poet's respect for the perfect word in the perfect place." - Anne Hillerman, New York Times best-selling author of Rock with Wings and The Tale Teller
"Reservation Restless is a book about growing up, loss, and arrival, all of it told in stories populated by walks, books, Navajos, mentors, river guides, canyons, and coyotes. Oh yes, and rainbows you get to touch." - Dan Flores, New York Times best-selling author of Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History
"Beautiful, evocative, Kristofic has written a book that conveys that sense of mythic reality that pervades every corner of the Colorado Plateau. He reveals portals into indigenous mind rarely understood by non-Native peoples. . . . It makes you pull the nails out of your frame of reference in order that you may perceive with greater clarity." - Jack Loeffler, author of Adventures with Ed: A Portrait of Abbey
