Description

Set against the stark beauty of the Laguna Pueblo reservation after World War II, this novel follows Tayo, a young man haunted by his experiences as a prisoner of war. Returning home, Tayo finds himself adrift, alienated from his community and struggling with the trauma that threatens to consume him. Driven by a profound need for healing, he embarks on a spiritual journey, delving into the ancient traditions and stories of his people. This quest becomes a powerful, personal ceremony, a path toward reclaiming his identity and confronting the forces of despair.
