The Journey of Runs-Far: a Kindred novella - Lori Benton

Descriere The Journey of Runs-Far: a Kindred novella - Lori Benton

\nA final journey uncovers the hidden wounds of an old man's soul, as he clings to hope that the God who redeemed him long ago has saved the greatest miracle for last. \nTennessee Country, 1798 \nRuns-Far, beloved elder of the Cherokee, lays dying. While family and friends gather to mourn, Runs-Far dreams of Sedi, the wife who bore him two children and was carrying a third when she was captured by white soldiers, and never seen again. For the next forty years, Runs-Far taught his people the ways of Jesus, yet Sedi's loss distanced him from the God he served. In his dream, his long-vanished wife accuses him of abandoning his search too soon. Even Creator is telling him it is not his day to die-he has unfinished business. But Runs-Far is old. Learning what happened to Sedi will lead him through lands settled by white men. He cannot go alone. Blue-Jay, his son, must go with him. \nBlue-Jay fears to lose a father as once he lost a mother-a loss over which he still carries guilt. Dare he believe forgiveness lies in making a journey seemingly born more of folly than faith? If he and his father find what they seek, will they wish they hadn't? Knowing only that the journey begins at MacKinnon's Cove, where Runs-Far abandoned his search long ago, the two set out from the mountains of their home with little more than hope to guide them.\n
