In this captivating novel, the Earth grants humanity an extraordinary second chance. Imagine hurtling a South Dakota Indian casino and its surroundings thirty miles back in time to 1791, before the Louisiana Purchase. The collision of eras sets the stage for a gripping narrative filled with survival, cultural clashes, and deep human connections.
The displaced Lakota and the local populace must band together to forge a sustainable future. They create a new government, replicate technology, and adapt to life in the eighteenth century. How do they respond when threats emerge from both internal divisions and external forces? Can they learn from the wisdom of the earth and avoid repeating past mistakes?
Amidst the chaos, Rose Chasing Hawk, a single mother, finds herself thrust into a leadership role and facing the challenges of raising teenagers in a new reality. Oliver Jackson, a Black ex-police officer and Iraq War veteran, must confront the harsh reality of needing military strength in a tumultuous time, despite advocating for nonviolence. And Two Elks, a Lakota leader native to this era, must defend his homeland against outsiders armed with dangerous technology and ideas.
As these characters navigate their altered world, the choices they make will have far-reaching consequences for future generations. Can they learn from the wisdom of the earth and avoid repeating past mistakes? Or will internal divisions and external forces tear them apart?
Author Daphne Singingtree, drawing from her vast knowledge of plant medicine, midwifery, emergency preparedness, and Indigenous ways of knowing, weaves a narrative filled with hope, resilience, and the power of collective action. As the stakes continue to rise and the fate of the earth hangs in the balance, the question remains: what if we could change the world for the better?
For fans of thought-provoking stories, like Eric Flint's 1632 series or Sarah Woodbury's After Cilmeri series, this novel is a must-read. Don't miss out on this captivating time travel saga that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
