Based on the true story of the birth of his son, Be Brave, Be Brave, Be Brave recalls the thoughts of author Anthony Falcon upon holding his child after the baby and his wife endured a life-threatening labour during Hurricane Harvey's landfall in Corpus Christi,Texas. Through a list of precepts, each ending with 'be brave', the book tells the tale of little Lakota's perilous arrival into the world, of Falcon's struggle to reconnect with a heritage that was lost to him, and a father's attempt to describe what it means to be a Native American man in America today.
