4.9/5 (31739 ratings)

Description:The story begins fifteen years after Power first called Stone Feather. The time is 1699. The place is northern Arizona. Those Who Came Before, the Anasazi, are gone. The people who now live in this land are the Tin-ne-áh , the Weekuapa; and the Havasu'wa’pai. The Tin-ne-áh and Weekuapa share nothing in common but distrust and hate. The Tin-e-ah are stunned when Stone Feather returns ten years after she was banished. Not long before her return, two strangers have arrived. Power has brought them. Are they key to making Power’s call known ? And does Power call for her, Stone Feather ? for Faraway, her daughter? for the People? The Purpose of all that has happened begins to unfold. How it began.Stone Feather is young woman of fifteen ,standing atop the sacred mountain with Black Wolf, the man she will one day marry, when Power calls her. Power is the life force of the Mountain Spirit, who commands all the spirits of the Tin-ne-ah. To answer its call is to walk the pathway of a true life despite the certainty of great difficulty and hardship, even the possibility of death. If Stone Feather can follow her true pathway, the course of her people will be altered. That change will secure their continued existence into a future that seeks to destroy their way of life. To prepare her, Power deals her a life of adversity made bearable by brief moments of happiness. She finds love with Black Wolf, the man chosen by Power to watch over her. But not long thereafter, everything changes for the worse! For five years Power has been silent. Was her belief a delusion or has Power abandoned her? In that time, the daughter born to her and Black Wolf is detached from this world. Faraway is silent and distant, like Stone Feather’s forgotten twin, killed at three. She fears more children. Will they also be like Faraway? Then, Black Wolf suddenly disappears. Threats and angry words are overheard by Snowbird, who is wife of the chief and her sister-in-law. Snowbird accuses Stone Feather of being a witch and maybe killing Black Wolf. Stone Feather is banished.How she survives ten years alone On the day Stone Feather was banished, she set out to find an unknown place for an unknown existence; holding onto the words of a father she barely remembered and childhood stories of an upside-down mountain. Her death seems probable. Why has Power deserted her or is she being punished for some unknown transgression? The upside-down mountain is real. Stone Feather finds refuge in a great canyon. Raven is her friend and spirit guide. It is a time for introspection and personal growth; discovering what it will take to face Power's call. After five years of solitude, Stone Feather realizes she needs to be with other people. Raven points her to the direction of the People of the Blue Green Waters, the Havasu’wa’pai, who find her and make her one of their own. He Who Flies Into the Waters , a man ten years younger, ignites Stone Feather’s passion. She has found a new life with the People of the Blue Green Waters and a joy for life and beauty. After the birth of her second child, a lingering dread overcomes Stone Feather. Will her son be detached from this world like the sister unknown to him? Will the People of the Blue Green Waters turn her away? Relief comes when she sees him as a thriving two-year-old. Nagging thoughts haunt her. What about Faraway, the daughter she left behind. Has she met Changing Woman, has she become a woman? Her mother’s intuition tells her no, that she has been denied nai?es, her Becoming Ceremony. Without Changing Woman, Faraway has no chance that she might become like other girls. For the second time in her life, Stone Feather leaves behind a child she loves.
