Spirit Journey; Sunshine's Song
This book is going to be a best seller. My editor is excited about this book, and we are working tirelessly to make it a powerful story about a young Indian woman and her struggles to survive in a world where the American government and its soldiers try only to destroy them. I have worked with the Cheyenne people and the Lakota people on the languages and have even added the Lakota keyboard to my computer so I can write the words with the accents. With much research on my part, I think the reader will enjoy learning so much about the Lakota people and their struggle and also fall in love with Sunshine and feel her suffering, pain, and joys. Follow her remarkable journey on the Plains in the 1800's.

In the white man’s year of 1834, seventeen year old Sunshine marries mountain man, Joe Morgan, and leaves her family in the Cheyenne village. Joe has promised to bring her back to visit whenever beaver hunting season is over. Learning more about Joe and white men’s ways at the rendezvous, Sunshine longs to come back to see her family. Joe does not keep his promise to her and her father and instead goes further east to hunt. Sunshine has a baby boy, To-mas, who looks like his white father. Her second son, “the Injun brat” as Joe calls him, looks like her. Joe takes his family to a Lakota camp. One morning, Sunshine awakes to find Joe is gone. Now she and her sons must learn to live with the Oglala, Lakota.
What journey must she follow with Watchful One, Thunder Man, and her half white sons when the Lakota encounter the expansion of the United States Government. Along with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Red Cloud, Sunshine and her family fight to live and endure the Fetterman Massacre, War for Powder River, Battle at Rosebud, Little Big Horn, and finally the Massacre at Wounded Knee.
