Traci Sorell's memoir, Indian No More, is a powerful and moving story of one woman's journey to confront her past and heal from the trauma of her childhood. Sorell was raised in a white adoptive family and spent her life trying to deny her Native American heritage. As a result, she struggled with addiction and self-destructive behavior. After years of pain and struggle, Sorell finally found the courage to face her past and begin the long journey of healing and redemption.

Indian No More is a story of hope and resilience. It is a story about the power of forgiveness and the importance of finding one's true identity. Sorell's journey is an inspiration to anyone who has ever struggled with addiction, trauma, or the search for identity.

Traci Sorell's Childhood

Traci Sorell was born in 1970 to a Native American mother and a white father. She was adopted by a white family when she was just a few days old. Sorell's adoptive parents were loving and supportive, but they did not tell her about her Native American heritage. Sorell grew up feeling like she did not belong. She was teased by her classmates for being different, and she often felt like an outsider.

As a teenager, Sorell began to experiment with drugs and alcohol. She quickly became addicted, and her life soon spiraled out of control. Sorell dropped out of school and began living on the streets. She was arrested several times for drug possession and prostitution.

Traci Sorell's Journey to Recovery

After years of addiction and self-destructive behavior, Sorell finally hit bottom. She was arrested for driving under the influence and sentenced to jail. While in jail, Sorell began to think about her life and the choices she had made. She realized that she needed to change her life, and she began to take steps to get sober.

After she was released from jail, Sorell entered a drug treatment program. She worked hard in treatment, and she eventually achieved sobriety. After getting sober, Sorell began to explore her Native American heritage. She started attending powwows and other Native American events. She also began to learn about her tribe's history and culture.

Through her journey of recovery and self-discovery, Sorell found healing and redemption. She learned to forgive herself for her past mistakes, and she found a new sense of purpose in life. Sorell now works as an advocate for Native American youth and she speaks out about the importance of healing from trauma.
