Lazarus Smith. The only name he ever knew, but it was not his. Whatever he had been called before, whoever gave him the gift of a name, existed only in dreams of fire. For seventeen years he watched a world he could not comprehend or touch from high windows and behind the iron gates of an orphanage. Then he was set free, and he took to the road, with only vague recollections of fire, people who loved him, and a name scribbled on paper: Lawson Mountain. Somewhere within the mountains west of Charlotte he believes there are people like him. People who know his true name, and perhaps what happened to his family. The beloved, larger-than-life Native American from ‘The Lawson’s Peak Stories', the boy who will become Lazarus Askuwhetea embarks upon his own life story in this new series by Roger Emile Stouff.
