Empowering Coming of Age Novel

Beautiful story dealing with the coming of age of a young woman in an Indian tribe through the making of a basket. Great affirmations of undying spirit, courage and power for all cultures and ages, especially teen-age girls through honoring our forefathers and discovering our own strength within. I highly recommend this book.
