Morgan Talty on family, blood and belonging

18 min • 23 februari 2025

Penobscot Indian Nation writer Morgan Talty's Fire Exit is a story of family bonds that go beyond bloodlines.

Charles is a white man who must not only confront his past but decide whether to reveal his identity to the daughter he watches from across the river that borders the Native American Reservation of the Penobscot people.

A compassionate account of family, love, and connections, it also explores the complications that may arise from truth-telling.
