From the back cover:
"... shapes the ancient Kiowa myth of a boy who turned into a bear into a timeless American classic. The Ancient Child juxtaposes Indian lore and Wild West legend into a hypnotic, often lyrical contemporary novel -- the story of Locke Setman, known as Set, a Native American raised far from the reservation by his adoptie father. Set feels a strange aching in his soul and, returning to tribal lands for the funeral of his grandmother, is drawn irresistibly to the fabled bear-boy. When he meets Grey, a beautiful young medicine woman with a visionary gift, his world is turned upside down. Here is a magical saga of one man's tormented search for his identity -- a quintessentially American novel, and a great one."

This book sounded interesting when I found it at the op shop. My youngest sister is adopted and Native American indian. Will there be any insights in this book?

I'm clearing off my bookshelves trying to make room for more. Off you go to find new friends. If you find this book please enjoy it then pass it on.
