Publisher's Synopsis
This partially fictional story is set in the early 1970s in rural Texas, when times were simple but hard. Desirae's story is a familiar one and begins in early childhood when she begins to learn more about her family history and learns to cherish her own gifts and abilities. She wonders whether her gifts are moral or right. Living in a Christian community with traditional Native American influences made it difficult to combine the two worlds. She managed to navigate her world by focusing on art.
