About This Book

Entering this world silently, QUIET ONE receives his name. As he grows, he learns about balance & vibrations in nature, that the Great Spirit lives in all things, & how to listen in the silence for the Great Spirit. At the end of his tenth summer, QUIET ONE & his pony, Red Wings, search for a safer way to cross the mountains between their tribe's winter & summer homes--safer than treacherous Rattlesnake Pass.
