Coyote Summer

Description

Upper Missouri River| 1825
Against the wild grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and a richly woven tapestry of Indian cultures – Sioux| Mandan| Crow| Shoshoni – “Coyote Summer” unfolds into an unforgettable tale of love and reconciliation| destiny| and the indomitable human spirit.
No two people could be more different: Heals Like A Willow| a beautiful young Shoshoni medicine woman| and Richard Hamilton| a Harvard philosophy student new to the frontier.
Though they come from worlds apart| hindered by vastly different cultures| their souls have met and will not be denied.
But Willow has ties to the Spirit World and a reponsibility to her people.
In visions she has seen the coming White Storm brewing in the East – the endless stream of settlers overrunning the land| pouring ever westward.
She must leave the trading posts| the river| and the company of white men.
Even if it means leaving behind the one who has taken her heart.
Armed only with his philosophy| meaningless in the harsh reality of the Rockies| Richard sets out after her.
Facing the endles expanse of mountains and snow| a new understanding dawns on Richard – that his desperate search for love and illumination may bear the ultimate price.
