Beschreibung

The book, RENNY, by R. A. Chattick Jr., is an uplifting, and enlightening story of a young, Native American boy, who embarks on a quest to find out why a spiritual messenger has enticed him to travel clear across the highline of Montana, in search of answers to a perplexing riddle. Renny Granville is a humble fella', who lives on his grandpa's farm, which lies on the drought-ravaged prairie of western North Dakota. One day, a mysterious messenger coaxes Renny, and his mother, to take their family and head for the land of the Blackfeet. Their journey takes them across the rolling plains of the vast, Montana highline, and eventually, to his mother's birthplace...the small town of Heart Butte, which is nestled in the shadows of the great Rocky Mountains. It is there that the matriarch of Renny's family, Red Antelope Woman, reveals a clue from the past, which further intensifies Renny's desire to find the reason for the messenger's arrival. Join Renny, as he delves into the spiritual realm, and follow him into the past, as Red Antelope Woman's tale transports him back to the time when the Native people hunted the endless herds of buffalo along the wide expanses of the Montana prairie. It was in that distant era, when the trail of clues actually began, but it is the future that young Renny must prepare for. Fighting against personal insecurities, and self doubt, Renny remains diligent, and solves the mystery, which helps him to unlock the key to true happiness.

Autor

Richard A. Chattick Jr. lives in the Electric City...Great Falls, Montana. Situated along the banks of the Missouri River, Great Falls is home to a series of magnificent waterfalls, which provided the early inhabitants of the municipality with an abundant source of natural energy. The thundering falls had to be circumvented by Lewis and Clark, as they made their way towards the Pacific Ocean. For centuries, Native tribes hunted buffalo along the fertile banks of the mighty Missouri, and on the vast expanse of the surrounding prairie. Today, Great Falls is home to many descendants of the indigenous inhabitants of Montana, and the surrounding region. One of these incredible people was a close friend of the author, and served as an inspiration for the rendition of Renny's exciting adventures. Many of the events in the book, RENNY, have a factual basis, and by capturing the powerful spirit of the author's humble companion, and faithful fishing partner, the fictional tale creates an illusion that complements the story's historical content.
