Winner of the 2013 BEST INDIE BOOK AWARD, Storykeeper is an epic
adventure, based on historic sixteenth-century Spanish documents
from the expedition of Hernando de Soto through the southern
regions of the United States. However, the story is told from the
perspective of the people of the Mississippi River Valley, who
lived and survived America's deadliest invasion. One hundred cold
winters have passed since that first encounter with Europeans when
Manaha, Mother-of-None steps before the village fire. Rejecting the
taboos of her tribe, the old woman demands that the children be
allowed to hear stories and the truth about their ancient homeland,
decimated and abandoned not long after the Conquistadors departed.
Before Manaha can finish her first story, her fire is doused, and
the listeners frightened away by Ta-kawa, a devious but respected
warrior. He convinces their struggling tribe of survivors to reject
Manaha and her stories. Manaha refuses to stop, even though her
listeners must hide in the shadows. The only hope for the last
essence of those ancient nations, their unique stories, and history
to survive is with a Storykeeper.
