Summary: A book to be read
Comment: Mr.Marshall is a superb story-teller and a gifted writer. He brings the twelve spiritual values of the Lakota to life in ways that the reader can not only understand, but relate to and see their meaning to everyday life. His stories of his grandparents alone make this book worth the read. Here is a man who listens and shares what he has learned over the course of a life and through the wisdom of those who came before him.
