Her beloved grandfather, a traditional Lakota healer, pulls her out of class one snowy morning and takes her on an old-fashioned vision quest in the heart of New York City in hopes of finding the perfect Lakota medicine. It becomes the most magical day ever for eleven-year-old Feather Anderson, the day she saves her little brother's life. Feather follows in her grandfather's footsteps of healing as a medicine man and she then earns her newly-given secret Lakota name. |
