Publisher's Synopsis
Legend of Lovers' Leap is the tragic story of two young lovers, much like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, who are forbidden to act on their love because of differences between two Peoples (tribes). Little Rainbow and He Who Runs Like Lightning were children of chiefs, the leaders of their People. For years, the two children had met at the Bosque River, which separated the two villages. They swam, chased rabbits, and did what children everywhere and in any time period do: play. Through their play, the children grew into young adults as best friends and secret from their families and villages. They knew only too well what the sentiments of their villages were. Each hated the other village and considered them an enemy. Here in the 21st Century, the differences between countries, cultures, and religions still exist. This is a timeless story from which we can all learn.
