Opis

Little Jack is a Lakota Indian living in a small Vermont town, Brandon. He's known as the vagabond Injun' who tends to people's gardens and lives part-time with a single mom and her daughter, Abigail. Trouble finds him one night when two men visit him at his trailer in the woods, to kill him. Little Jack fights back and almost beats one of the men to death. He is sent to an asylum and the mother and Abigail leave VT for Boston. Seven years later, older Abigail retrieves Little Jack from the asylum and brings him home to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. A new life emerges for them both as Little Jack teaches her about the sacred pipe and the inipi (sweatlodge ceremony). A short timeless tale of honor and spiritual truth by S.W. Laro.
