“Michael Dorris is the author's name. The name of the book is 'The Broken Cord.' Michael introduced me to this whole issue. He tells the story in his book about two children in South Dakota who had fetal alcohol syndrome. Both have passed away. Both struggled mightily for years. And, of course, the extraordinary problems that the family had to confront are all accounted for in that book. Unfortunately, we lost Michael a few years ago, a powerful advocate for a national advocacy for addressing this issue. But I only hope more people will read that book.”
