Synopsis

Cha'risa, a Hopi medicine woman cast out by her people, begins a journey to help save her son, Ahote. After years of forced attendance at an Indian boarding school, Ahote now questions his traditional beliefs and culture. He is no longer certain which world he belongs to, but Ahote has found employment at C&M Ranch just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona and has decided to link his future to the two brothers who own it. Not wanting to leave Ahote alone in an uncertain world, Cha'risa accompanies him, never realizing how profoundly this decision will change her own life. Set against a backdrop of towering red rocks, snowcapped peaks and sacred canyons, Cha'risa's Gift is not only her story, but the story of a family that spans generations. Into this diverse family, children are born carrying Cha'risa's gift. Each must find their own way to come to terms with their potential and the responsibilities it brings.

À propos de l'auteur

Ilana Maletz moved to Northern Arizona six years ago after spending most of her adult life on the east coast where she raised a family and taught music at the middle and high school levels. She began visiting Northern Arizona with her family more than a decade ago. Cha'risa's Gift began to take shape on long hikes among the red rocks with her Golden Retriever, Lucy. The majestic beauty of Sedona, Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, and Havasupai Falls inspired Ilana to write the stories that make up Cha'risa's Gift.
