Obsidian - Softcover
Following his father across the meadow, Bill wondered what he was going to show him. As they walked slowly along the banks of the gurgling stream, his father knelt and brushed at the ground with his hand. “Come look at this, Bill.” Stepping next to where his father was, Bill looked at the ground. He saw a handful of black, glossy flakes of rocks. “Isn’t it flint?” Bill asked with awe in his voice. “Its proper name is obsidian,” his father answered.“When an Indian wanted to make an arrow point, he would use an antler point in one hand and a piece of buckskin in the other to protect his hand. Then he would flake off the obsidian and make whatever he wanted.” Kneeling next to his father, Bill picked up several obsidian chips. “How do you know all of this?” he asked. Obsidian, a captivating tale of parallel lives, is the story of heartache and love, war and peace, richly woven between the past and the present. Although separated by more than 100 years, an Indian boy and a white man embark on an unforgettable journey through time... Reviews - David J Hawkes has done a great job telling an intergenerational story, showing how lives can be interwoven even across racial lines. The parent-child relationships explored in Obsidian can inspire and motivate any family. We highly recommend it to readers of all ages. —Stuart and Lael Parkinson
