 Independent Publisher Review November 10, 2000
"This collection constitutes a compelling blend of the natural world with the spiritual, a fusion central to Native American lore; it will long linger with its readers." -Deborah Donovan, Independent Publisher

Maurice Kenny, best known throughout the world for his award-winning poetry, has put together a set of short stories that stay with you forever. Strong imagery and subtle character building give each story punch, surprise, humor and memorability. The stories flow one to another - never straying from Kenny's strong ties to Native American themes and characters. Each morsel should be savored. I tried to read one a day to have time to reflect and digest each before going on to the next. I confess - I couldn't always control myself!
