Among the beauty of ancient mounds and earthworks a thousand years
ago, the people of the Village of Ohi'yo enjoy an idyllic life.
Women care for their families, share farming duties, and choose the
chief, while men protect the village and hunt for game. Yet, with
each new sunrise, change is in the air, threatening the village in
ways that they could not understand. Young Heron has met his love,
Lone Bird, a woman from another clan. The two unite in the moving
Ceremony of One, but painful secrets from his past keep them apart,
except for covert and passionate meetings. As time passes, rain and
snowfall decrease in the region, while the summer's heat increases
and lengthens. Fertile, replenishing floods gradually halt their
annual immersions. Insects emerge from the drying ground to attack
village crops; deer move away as coyotes move in. People follow the
deer. Village life is in jeopardy. Against this backdrop, Young
Heron finally sees hope for a traditional life as he reunites with
his family, until events, hidden for decades, confront him. A
tragic conclusion seems predestined. Years later, the fruits of
this man's life are revealed in a surprising way. Great Heats - a
novel of historic fiction, rich in detail and human experience.
