Description

Mary Summer Rain's relationship with the old and wise Indian shaman No-Eyes, introduced in Spirit Song, continues, as she reveals to Mary her compelling visions of the future. From the setting in the simple mountain cabin, No-Eyes takes her on a sometimes frightening journey through time, viewing the upheavals to come through a unique perspective, on timeless paths that few have ever traveled.

And, as always, the unique relationship between teacher and student is delightfully rendered.… (more)

With the recent flooding in Colorado, I'm curious about where Summer Rain is living now.
