--THIS IS A PREVIEW.--
Lael always dreamed of sailing away from the settlement and his reputation as town pariah.
Elsive always dreamed of sailing back to the land the settlement stole from him people generations ago.
When Lael is granted his wish to become a social worker on the native reservations, he falls into an immediate and intense bond with elder-to-be, Elsive. As his talks with Elsive bring the settlement’s atrocities against the natives to light, quiet dreams of freedom morph into a growing rebellion that threatens the tribes’ collective desire for peace.
Is love worth the risk of losing the lives and the culture the natives have strived to protect for generations?
Is freedom?
