Description

On the windswept prairie of the Great Plains, one woman struggles to understand why an honest account of history was never told. As she moves amongst the Sioux as a construction missionary for the Episcopal Church, her questions deepen when the pain of the tribe's past taps into hers. The questions as to whether Western Religions have relevancy for Native Americans lead her on a chaotic journey to her own spirituality. It is not scripture that helped her maintain equilibrium but the literary works of remarkable writers, both Native American and non-Native American. This is the story of a young woman finding her footing as a writer while simultaneously navigating the South Dakota reservations, in search of the "Home of the Brave."
