Scarlet Feather (Far Memory Books)

The astonishing Joan Grant became aware as a child of her uncanny gift of "far memory," an ability to recall in detail previous incarnations, both male and female, in other centuries and lands. Her seven historical novels have been highly praised for their extraordinary vividness and lavish detail. In fact they are the author's memories of her earlier lives.

Follow the life of Piyanah, daughter of a clairvoyant Indian mother in Scarlet Feather. Piyanah demands new freedom--and an end to her tribe's sexual segregation and brutality. Trained and educated with the young braves, she develops strength and courage, and soon she will succeed the tribal chief--if she can at last overcome a series of ordeals which prove her worthy of the Scarlet Feather.
