Introduction to the novel from Gale Literature Resource Center: 

"Storytelling is an important part of The RoundHouse (2012), for which Erdrich won the National Book Award. Through nested stories, Erdrich relates the coming of age of Joe Coutts, a thirteen-year-old boy whose mother is cruelly attacked. Joe then spends his summer trying to find the man who assaulted his mother, seeking revenge. The violence and sadness that Joe's family experiences are tempered by the strong sense of community that surrounds them."
