WHITE SKIES BLACK MINGO AUDIOBOOK - Narration by Jennifer Ashford
Ohio Country, 1854, twelve-year-old Margaret Davis (Kateri) flees a terrible epidemic devastating her Ohio Seneca clan. Mentored in the ancient arts of medicine and healing at a young age, the young girl journeys to Wheeling, Virginia, with her mother and Shaman grandmother, in search of a new home.
When Margaret finds herself suddenly lost and alone, she is thrust into the wilderness and an impending winter storm that threatens her very existence. Abandoned amid rogue fur trappers, wild beasts, and fierce weather, she struggles to survive the treacherous journey with two loyal companions at her side—her two beloved wolves, Hato and Kake. An unexpected betrayal leads Margaret into servitude on a Virginia plantation. Her captivity changes the course of her life forever and sets her on a path of mercy as a medicine woman during the darkest hour of American History—The Civil War. A chance encounter with a Union soldier leaves Margaret torn between two very different worlds and one very forbidden love.
A story of a young woman's struggle in a white man's world to overcome impossible odds and discover her own fiercely independent spirit. A love story for the ages inspired by the author's ancestors. Praised by Native American and mainstream media as well as famous Native Americans for its truthful and respectful point of view.
