The story explores the relationship between a determined student and his teacher against a backdrop of systemic bureaucracy and cultural conflict.

The novel has been praised for its thought-provoking subject matter and meticulous research. A review from The Chrysalis BREW Project states, “The novel’s evocative prose and meticulous attention to detail create a vivid setting for a story that is as captivating as it is thought-provoking. The book’s content is engaging and well-researched, offering readers a closer look at a time that is often romanticized but rarely understood in its full complexity. The writing style is both lyrical and accessible, making it a pleasure to read.”

The Historical Fiction Company highlighted the impact of the book, stating, “The beautiful story told in My Place Among Them, combined with the author’s thorough research and beautiful prose, earns this book a rating of five out of five. It is incredibly well done and Stanion has created a touching novel that does justice to Indigenous history.”

Madelyn Rohrer, author of Children of the Edict, called the novel a “riveting read about conflict and resistance, hardship and perseverance,” while Bud Shapard, a retired Bureau of Indian Affairs official, praised it as a “well-written, highly entertaining read” for anyone interested in stories of the Wild West.

Editor Fran Lebowitz commented on the book’s historical portrayal as follows: “An intimate portrayal of a period in our history when good people thought they knew better, bad people did the worst, and naive, proud people couldn’t tell the difference.”

J. Stanion, a certified science teacher and author of this powerful narrative, reflects on her journey through writing that has enabled her to share deep personal and historical insights.
