About Storykeeper: Epic Historical Saga of Destruction and Survival in 16th Century America
A hundred cold winters passed since the Son-of-the-Sun (their name for De Soto) and his conquistadors arrived with war and destruction. Manaha, Mother-of-None steps before the village fire of the small tribe of survivors. Rejecting long-held taboos, the old woman demands that the tribe allow the children to hear her passed-down stories about their ancient, abandoned homeland and the time of the Great Dying. Before Manaha can finish her first story, an angry tribal leader douses her fire and frightens her young listeners into the night. Friends shun her and tribal elders threaten banishment. Manaha refuses to stop for those few children who come to listen while hiding the shadows. The only hope that the unique history and stories, the last remaining essence of a forgotten people, will survive lies with one unlikely Storykeeper.
