I have a patron looking for a book she read about a year ago, but
can't remember the author or title. She's not sure if it's fiction or
nonfiction but has a pretty good description of the subject.

It's about a Native American woman (possibly Sioux - contemporary)
who was adopted off the reservation as a child to a white family. As an
adult she researches and finds her roots, her past and herself.

If anyone has any idea of the title or author I would really
appreciate it. Thanks!!

This is just a wild guess, but Margaret Coel's two most recent books:
The lost child
The spirit woman
have dealt with adoption of Indian children outside the tribe and the impact
it has on their past and present life. "The spirit woman" also has an
interesting story about what might have really happened to Sacajawea after
the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Coel's books are really good.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

It is probably Looking for Lost Bird by Yvette D. Melanson. It is a
biography of a Jewish woman who discovers that she is Native American and
sets off to find her roots. She finds out she is Navajo. The book was
recently made into a made-for-television movie. There is also a mystery by
Coel Margaret called Lost Bird about a movie star who finds out she was
stolen as a baby and is eventually reunited with her Arapaho Family.

Sorry that should be Margaret Coel as the author of Lost Bird.

It sounds like it might be Solar Storms by Linda Hogan, but in this one she's a young adult who comes back.
