Chief Phil Crazy Bull, Lakota Nation , Ancestral Chief and Medicine Man said this about this story -
"Your manuscript was very moving, awesome in its imaging and overwhelming spiritually. Your story is one of belief and non-belief, anger, love, compassion and fear. In it the duality of life is expressed in the life choices and decisions made by all who seek the lessons of the Creator"
This is a true story any mother or father will relate to. It is also important to anyone searching for meaning in tragedy.
