Golden Fox, a girl barely turned woman, is pursued by her hairy-face father, who will stop at nothing to find her, even if he has to destroy her entire band. He gives one of her relatives the "Poisoned Water," and in return the woman burns down Golden Fox's family's lodges.
The band is thus broken.
Golden Fox's grandfather, Eagle Thunder, never wanted to become leader of the band, but when the hairy-face's poisoned water takes over the minds of many of his peoples, including the Elders, he has no choice. He must lead the remnants of the band or they will die.
Homeless, they travel into unknown lands, where a Holy Woman invites them to join their band. Golden Fox respects the Holy woman, and an albino warrior that she falls for, but they hold from her an important secret.
Then Golden Fox's abusive hairy-face father finds her.
"I love all of Ruby's books. I've learned so much about the Native American culture at the time they had to fight for their way of life. Every page lets me feel the anguish and struggles they went through. The mother and daughter relationship is a strong one. It is rare to read a book where a young woman has battle after battle to face but fights onward, never turns against her world or her family, as you find in so many of our books and movies today. Golden Fox embodies great wisdom and spiritual strength by keeping the traditions in her heart. This is a great book to enjoy at your leisure. No need to rush. You might miss something that will bring your heart closer to the Native American way of life." ~ L. K. Killian

AUTHOR: Ruby Standing Deer has been a wanderer, and a journeyman newspaper pressman. She's spent years rescuing animals and learning from them. They've taught her that life does not have to be so hard, if you go with the flow and not against it. Her life revolves around writing and her family, which includes, of course, her animals. Two car accidents in the mid-nineties changed Ruby's life. She resented it at first, until understanding that she'd simply been put on another path. It was not an easy one, and continues to be a challenge, but she accepted it, and learns with each step she takes. Ruby writes because she's compelled to pass on knowledge. Her first book, "Circles," is more than just a story of family, or of the people who first settled in the Americas. It is a story of spirituality and the simple humor of everyday life, but also of the fear of the unknown. Life presents us a path; how we choose to navigate that "circle" is up to us.
EDITOR: Lane Diamond has over 190 published books to his editing credit, including many multiple award-winners across many genres and styles, with more to come.
