The Navajo Spirit Series

A Life Adventure Series: Suitable for young adult and older.

Living a life separate from the rest of the world, Niyol an old Navajo Indian, lives life in the traditional ways of his people high amongst the trees of the Arizona Mountain Forests. For the last decade he has cared for his twin grandchildren Doli and Nayati whose parents died tragically when they were young. A coming of age series evolving far beyond simply growing up.
In the 1960’s racial tension is still evident in the western world and the issues around it are brought to the forefront when a boy of mixed spirits, who has been brought up in the Western way joins the family. The differences become more apparent when Niyol takes it upon himself to train the boy in the Navajo ways, much to the scorn of Nayati. The differences are highlighted further when Niyol points out to his grandchildren that they too are of mixed spirits which links the three together, although not always in a positive way.
Add cultural and spiritual differences to the mix and the families years of peace and harmony are constantly tested and challenged before the natural events that occur in the place they live, and when visiting the Western World, forge unbreakable bonds between them all.
