Powerful, courageous, and deeply moving, The Outside Circle is drawn from the author's twenty years of work and research on healing and Initially maintaining his gang ties, a jail brawl forces Pete to realize the negative influence he has become on Joey and encourages him to begin a process of rehabilitation through a traditional Native healing circle.
