Story Behind The Book
This story is a fictional tale that closely mirrors true events that have happened in my life; all of my teachers have expressed to me the importance of sharing the skills that I’ve learned from them. These skills and teachings primarily come from a Native American philosophy and they’re not mine to posses or hold secret. My teachers learned it from their teachers, and the teachers before them and so on. Each generation passes down these skills with respect and reverence to those they feel guided to teach. I have been guided to share these skills in this way.
