ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“News of the World” by Paulette Jiles follows Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a Civil War veteran, as he travels through post-war Texas reading the news to isolated communities. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he is tasked with returning Johanna, a young girl who was captured and raised by the Kiowa tribe, to her biological family. As they travel together, Kidd and Johanna navigate language barriers, cultural divides, and external threats. The novel explores themes of identity, family, duty, and belonging, highlighting the bond that forms between two people from very different worlds.
