Author Description

Joseph Blackthorn would rather live with the hurt and confusion of his parents fighting than to see them get a divorce. A school assignment over Spring Break--to find out about his native American heritage--pushes 12-year-old Joseph on a spirit quest. Will the journey bring the bond Joseph seeks from his father, or will things get worse when Joseph is sent to the medical clinic? What happens changes Joseph's life and the small town of Grand Ronde, Oregon--forever.
