From the rear cover
Joyce Sequichie Hifler tells the story of her own childhood in the Oklahoma hills of Cherokee Country. A gracefully written story of contemporary Native American life and spirituality, When the Night Bird Sings soars with deep feeling and trademark Hifler insight and compassion. From a family so poor that an eight-dollar monthly check was a godsend, Hifler shares the profound lessons she learned from her extended family of elders and from the Great Spirit. The richness of the landscape is woven through the book in a poignant tribute to nature and to the universal magic of childhood.
