Synopsis

From best-selling Native American writer Joseph M. Marshall III comes an inspirational guide deeply rooted in Lakota spirituality.

When a young man’s father dies, he turns to his sagacious grandfather for comfort. Together they sit underneath the family’s cottonwood tree, and the grandfather shares his perspective on life, the perseverance it requires, and the pleasure and pain of the journey. Filled with dialogues, stories, and recollections, each section focuses on a portion of the prose poem “Keep Going” and provides commentary on the text.

Readers will draw comfort, knowledge, and strength from the Grandfather’s wise words—just as Marshall himself did.

From AudioFile:

Hearing the Lakota historian and storyteller read these wonderful tales, listeners will know they are part of a deep historical tradition of teaching character traits through colorful, heartwarming stories. Marshall is a quiet and intimate interpreter who stands back from the stories and lets their curious power speak for itself. The narrative presents the lessons as passed down to a grieving young man by his grandfather. The dialogue between the two provides a timeless view of what young people in every culture need and mostly do not ask their elders to provide. The lessons on determination, perseverance, courage, and faith are made more poignant by the sting of the young man's immediate loss and the grind of life's constant challenges.
