MEDICINE OF THE WHITE OWL

Destiny is about to rush through the sleepy village of San Ramon forever changing the face of the American Southwest in 1850 as Apache, Pueblo, American and Spanish cultures collide, igniting Northern New Mexico. With the collapsing of a silver mine in Northern Mexico, an urgent need for workers is created, sparking the Southwest slave trade. Thrust into the middle of this, the children of the mission in San Ramon realize they are in danger, and to survive they discover allies in unexpected places. An injured child from the mission seeks refuge in an ancient shaman’s cave where she discovers the power of the Owl . . . the ability to see truth in darkness. Rescued by a medicine woman from a local Pueblo, the child grows in wisdom. The child returns with her new found wisdom and aids the children of the mission who will have to choose between the values taught by the controlling Father Alcazar and the spiritual values of the Pueblo. There will be no middle ground.
