From time to time there had been vague references to a childhood and a family and a farm somewhere far away, and overheard snippets of conversations about memories that Maggie said were best forgotten. They’d moved on, she told her, whenever Dylan had tried asking questions. That life was over; in the past. It was nothing to do with who they were anymore.
In 1806, Captain William Clark writes in his secret second journal as he prepares to leave the freedom he has found in the ‘uncivilized’ West and the Nez Perce woman who will soon bear his child.
In 1982, twelve-year-old Dylan Dearborne is tired of her hippie mother’s transient life. Returning to the farm on the Nez Perce reservation, to the people her mother fled from years before, she hopes to find the things she has never known—a father, a family, a place where she belongs.
Using authentic and imagined voices to fill in the gaps of historical documents, A Legacy of Earth and Sky reveals how past events continue to reverberate in the present.
Genre: Literary Fiction
