A thrilling journey of ancestry, love and forgiveness. Based on the true story of the 2,067 skeletons that were stolen from the Ghost Pueblo of Pecos. WINNER Best Historical Fiction New Mexico / Arizona Book Awards.
When he was 13, Grandfather witnessed the robbery of the graves of his ancestors. Now, 85 years later and across the miles, the wind carries their cries to Grandfather, a powerful shaman. He hears the bones longing for home and pleads with his granddaughter to help him bring home the missing ones. Hollow-Woman and Grandfather are the last of their people. The pair embark on a cross-country road trip in a ratty, pickup-camper to find the skeletons. With the diary of the archaeologist who stole the bones, they will try to discover what happened to the remains of their ancestors. Grandfather fashions a magical dream catcher to hurl Hollow-Woman into the past at times, so that she might experience the lives of her ancestors, their triumphs and tragedies. The pages are filled with the comical way Grandfather looks at the world while embracing the heartbreak and spirituality of the Native American peoples.
