In this riveting memoir, David Crow presents a searing account of his experience growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation with a mentally ill mother and violent father, an ex-con from San Quentin who groomed him to be his partner in crime. When David ultimately found the courage to change his life, he unwittingly triggered a plot of revenge that forced him into a deadly showdown with his father. Raw and palpable, The Pale-Faced Lie is an unforgettable testament to the power of forgiveness and the strength of the human spirit.

No woman or child should be without a safe home. If it hadn’t been for one man’s kindness many years ago, my mentally ill mother would have ended up on the street—or worse—when my dad abandoned her. In her honor, I’m donating a portion of my book royalties to the Barrett Foundation, a women’s homeless shelter in Albuquerque. Here I am giving Melissa Kaminsky my first check. Thank you, @barrettfoundation, for all you do. #charitywork #dysfunctionalfamily #mentalillness #homelessness #thepalefacedlie #palefacedlie #helpingothers #donations #defendsurvivors

Incredible Read
May 29, 2019
I experienced every emotion while reading this book. Sympathy, empathy, surprise, disbelief, and support are a few of feelings while following this full-life coming of age saga. The fact that it is a true story answers some of my questions of why some people turn out like they are, but makes me appreciate the people who have overcome incredible obstacles in life to succeed, move on, and forgive. This book had me cringing at some of the experiences the author had, empathize with some of his feelings, rooting for him to win in the end, and celebrate with him at the finish line. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a serious book with a true story, told in a humorous and non-pity evoking way, with a very evident moral of the story. It also sheds quite a revealing light on some of the institutions that still exist in our country. I will read it again.
