The Last Bull at Raymond
Nancy Jane
Fiction, mystery, spiritual
A gifted young Shaman is trying to protect a friend and solve the mysterious disappearances of young women.
Jedidiah Fox is 6’7”, and strikingly unusual in appearance, some would say ugly, especially his own people. He is best friends with Morgan Miller, a socially outcast brain-damaged cowboy. When strange circumstances twist Morgan into a life-altering situation, Jedidiah and his grandfather, the Chief, have to guide him safely through situations that even they have little experience with. At the same time, they are trying to recover what has been stolen from Morgan and keep him safe from those who have wanted him dead for years.
To complicate things further, young women, including Morgan’s girlfriend, Wanda Eagle Child, have been disappearing from the area for several years. Jedidiah and the Chief have their suspicions, but they do not have all the facts and the evidence they need to be believed. As they try to obtain this evidence, they are also in danger. Possibly more than Morgan, due to the long-standing hatred, their enemies have for them. A hatred that found its birth in family secrets.
As they all work together to try and correct the wrongs perpetrated on Morgan and solve the mystery of the missing women, the family secrets start to unravel, coming to a fatal conclusion. Will this help them find the missing women, and, if so, will they ever be able to go home?
This is a book that examines our relationship with Mother Earth, the other creatures we share it with and the way we treat each other. This is a book from the past for the present. It is a lesson we need to learn, repeatedly, about how what we do to other living things we do to ourselves. It is a book that advises that, although we can’t return to the way it was, we can shape a future that works better for all our relations. This is a book for these unprecedented times.
