The Rock Child
From Win Blevins, two-time recipient of the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers Writer of the Year Award, a dazzling tour de force packed with drama, humor, and the lore of American Indians and Tibetan Buddhists An unlikely trio comprised of the Shoshone Indian Asie, a musical savant who has been accepted into the Church of Latter-day Saints; Sun Moon, a Tibetan nun kidnapped in Asia and forced into prostitution in America; and the renowned soldier, explorer, and translator Sir Richard Burton flees from the Utah Territory to California in 1862. The Destroying Angel of the Mormon Church, Porter Rockwell, seeking vengeance against Asie and Sun Moon, pursues them relentlessly. The journey is jam-packed with unforgettable incidents and colorful characters, including a fledgling journalist named Mark Twain. Along the way, Asie discovers why he was named the Rock Child, what it means to be a man of color in America, and how to find the spiritual path that will nurture his soul.
