MY FATHER'S BLOOD

"Darkness: the place where light best reveals itself." In the potent and poignant language of fine literature, this stunningly honest autobiographical novel grants candid views of chronic illness, blindness, and Native American racial identity, against the backdrop of a world often determined to demean, degrade, and disenfranchise. Though Amy Krout-Horn's inheritance brings illness, it also brings strong medicine, medicine remembered on a cellular level, derived from the profound wisdom of her Lakota ancestors. But can the ancient council fire's "spark" that ignited within a young girl's heart continue to guide the woman, even as the monster drags her into the "darkest darkness"? Like the reverberations of a native drum, Amy Krout-Horn's visceral voice resounds, imparting the message that, sometimes, our bloodlines become our lifelines.

About the author:
Gabriel Horn (White Deer of Autumn) is an award-winning author and professor of literature and creative writing, as well as an activist for the spiritual rights of indigenous people, and an outspoken defender of the natural world
Amy Krout-Horn (Last Word Woman) has resided in two worlds; the world of the sighted and the world of the blind. She has been a writer in both of them.

“The Native American spirituality of Transcendence is brilliantly played out in a series of vignettes as crisp and clear as sunlight on the ocean. Horn and Krout-Horn tell stories beyond a single time or place. Rich with exquisite dream imagery, these narratives evoke pain at environmental and cultural losses at the same time that their finely tuned story telling makes the reader turn the page, hungry for more. Transcendence is a feast of story telling, nourishment for any audience with a taste for truth and beauty, as well as the imagination or inclination to follow the Mystery. From the blasé brutality of the mall to the passionate breath of an orca goddess, Transcendence delivers what the title promises; these are myths to unlock the real. This text reads with the elegance and harmony of orature combined with a complex layering of sensual detail. These are dream journeys to salve the soul.”
