Book Description
I grew large yet I shrunk small. I rose up yet I shrunk down low. I knew this feeling well, I was entering the dream world. I stood outside of the cave of a thousand eyes and I began to feel rain pouring down on me. I lifted my hand and looked at it and it was then that I realized I was not being covered with rain drops, I was being covered with blood and this blood was that of my people that was shed during the battle to keep our homeland. The legendary battle of the removal of the Cherokee known as the Trail of Tears. Although I stand as one spirit I have lived many lifetimes. Past meets present and present meets the past. I entered the dream world hoping to find the answer and knowing I had fought many battles with the evil one and it always begins the same way, by entering the dream world where my spirit guide Nonauma awaits for the past and the present to merge and become stronger, stronger for the battle between good and evil. The dream world is universal, all beings go there but there are those few who stay longer sometimes hours,sometimes days yet have only closed their eyes for a moment. Morning Star and Olivia posses this gift and although they are two separate people they have one thing in common, they share the same spirit. Morning Star is Olivia’s past life and Olivia is Morning Stars’ future life. Together they must battle an angry entity simply called the evil one. The evil one will do anything to capture and keep the girls gift of sight. With this power he can rule many people, therefore making it easier to cause chaos and disaster. The evil one controls the bees and snakes and he uses them all to try and get an upper hand on the girls. He is much like the coyote, full of trickery. But there is one rule that even he must follow and that is he can not take this gift away from either girl they must give it to him out of their own free will. Both girls are born with a marking upon their palm, a perfect medicine wheel and this mark holds the key that can destroy the evil one. Who is the dream and who is the dreamer? Well, that is for you, the reader to decide. Although the girls are from different eras, their battle has not changed. The dream world is mystical and magical and it is a place with no boundaries. At times it is hard for both girls to know whether they are in the good dream world or the world of bad dreams where the evil one lurks, waiting for the right time to deceive the girls. Their battles are legendary amongst Morning Stars’ people but in Olivia’s world, she stands alone, isolated within the truth and it is only in the dream world that she finds freedom to use her gift without any worries of being different.
