A compelling story of love and spiritual wisdom, written by Joan Grant from her past life memories, Scarlet Feather is also a call to arms for the emancipation of women and men trapped in traditional roles. Piyanah, our heroine, is a member of a Native American tribe that has strayed from its noble heritage. Her clairvoyant mother refuses to accept the tribe's restrictiveness, brutality and sexual segregation, so Piyanah and her cousin Raki grow up as outsiders. When she learns that her father is Chief Na ka chek, Piyanah chooses to defy her people's traditions and insists on undergoing the ordeals of a Brave, overcoming daunting physical and spiritual challenges. Meanwhile Raki learns from the squaws, thereby gaining the knowledge and empathic abilities of women. If their exchanged education is successful, Piyanah and her cousin will succeed the Chief as a pair, as long as they can pass the final series of ordeals that will prove them worthy of the Scarlet Feather. 298pp, 136mm x 203mm, softback, 2007 (first published 1945)
