"Healing the heart can be the hardest medicine to make." Known as "Snowy Owl" amongst her people, Kela Tukumu is less interested in taking a husband than she is in becoming the first medicine woman of her Miwok tribe. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she is rather fierce to behold--taller and stronger than all the other women, and even many of the men... or maybe it is simply due to the terrible tragedy she heard all her life--the one that took away her grieving mother before Kela had the chance to even know her. Regardless of the reason, Kela is determined to stay the course....
"Healing the heart can be the hardest medicine to make." Known as "Snowy Owl" amongst her people, Kela Tukumu is less interested in taking a husband than she is in becoming the first medicine woman of her Miwok tribe. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she is rather fierce to behold--taller and stronger than all the other women, and even many of the men... or maybe it is simply due to the terrible tragedy she heard all her life--the one that took away her grieving mother before Kela had the chance to even know her. Regardless of the reason, Kela is determined to stay the course. With the influx of new settlers in the territory, her people have suffered much. She has decided it is her responsibility to help them heal. However, doing so may require an alliance with the local town doctor in ways she never imagined. If Jonathan Edwards could turn back the hands of time, he would have never left his medical practice back east. His wife warned him it would be their undoing and, sure enough, it was. Now he has his wife's blood on his hands, as well as the responsibility of raising their two small children alone. Worse, the town's mayor has charged him with yet another undertaking--unite the townsfolk with the local Miwok tribe. Yet, how can he possibly do so when the very real likelihood exists that it was one of their men who murdered his wife? The last thing he wishes is to betray her memory... an increasingly difficult task when the Miwok's shaman turns out to be the most capable woman he's ever known. Will sharing their knowledge with one another open a way to healing, or only produce more hurt for both them and their peoples?
