She Hung Beads On The Drum

White Widow Hung Beads on a Broken Drum—The Tribe Rebuilt Her Roof With Cedar and Rope…

In the harsh Montana Territory of 1876, Sarah McKenna faces a brutal winter alone after losing her husband in a conflict between cavalry and Crow warriors. When her cabin roof collapses during a fierce blizzard, she unknowingly performs a Native American mourning ritual that catches the attention of Joseph Crow Feather, a Crow warrior who lost his own family in the same tragic encounter. Despite the dangerous prejudices of their communities, these two grieving souls must choose between hatred and hope as they work together to survive the unforgiving frontier winter. Their unlikely alliance challenges everyone around them to see beyond the color of skin and recognize the universal language of loss and compassion. This is a work of fiction.
