I've never read these books, but your secret reminded me of a Dear America book I read when I was a kid about the Native American boarding schools. The boarding schools weren't presented as a bad thing and the worst was the MC feeling awful about getting her hair cut, but the other kids were okay and even said it was better to have shorter hair. Then I got to high school, learned how those kids were actually treated in those "schools", and was shocked that nobody had objected to it. The Dear America books usually did all right presenting the darker parts of history, but that book was just terrible.

That particular book; My Heart is on the Ground by Anne Rinaldi is actually extremely controversial and was pretty much disinherited by the Dear America franchise. It got a boatload of backlash when it was printed, so you can definitely say people objected to it.

Wow, I had no idea about the backlash because I was young when it came out and read most of the Dear America books. I'm not surprised, but I hadn't thought of that book since I was a kid. Thanks for prompting me to do some digging!
