At the Indian artisans show in Santa Clara Pueblo, Cecelia
Bluespruce sits with her wares in the middle of a row of booths--a
good place to catch buyers. She is a successful Native American
artist, a sculptor and potter of renown. But Cecelia is in the
middle of something deeper than an art show, for she has become
trapped by dreams and shadows of her past.
"Night Sky, Morning Star" is a story of remembrance and
reconciliation in one Native American family separated by time and
chance. Cecelia's grown son, Jude, now wants to learn about the
father he has never known. Political activist Julian Morning Star,
imprisoned twenty years for a crime he did not commit, is unaware
that his son even exists. Troubled by dreams, lies, and denial of
the past, Cecelia is guided toward wholeness by family and friends
who have their own pasts to confront.
This compelling novel plunges readers into the hubbub of the
Indian arts market and into the grim reality of prison life.
Evelina Zuni Lucero introduces us to experiences we may find
unfamiliar: diverse Native American traditions, life on a BIA
Indian agency compound, the making of an Indian activist. But she
also reintroduces us to two things we all live for: the power of
story and the power of love.
"Night Sky, Morning Star" is the fiction winner of the 1999
First Book Awards competition of the Native Writers' Circle of the
Americas.
