Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
A Holy Man, who lives in both this world and the Spirit world, waits hidden in a cave in the canyons, as a newly made woman runs toward him. She flees her would-be suitor, who wants from her more than she can give. The Holy Man and his constant companions, a colony of mice, accept the woman within the cave. She worries that he may be crazy, but given her fear of the man who desires her, maybe crazy is not so bad.

Publisher's Summary
Golden Fox, a girl barely turned woman, is pursued by her hairy-face father, who will stop at nothing to find her, even if he has to destroy her entire band. He gives one of her relatives the “Poisoned Water,” and in return the woman burns down Golden Fox’s family’s lodges.
The band is thus broken.
Golden Fox’s grandfather, Eagle Thunder, never wanted to become leader of the band, but when the hairy-face’s poisoned water takes over the minds of many of his peoples, including the Elders, he has no choice. He must lead the remnants of the band or they will die.
Homeless, they travel into unknown lands, where a holy woman invites them to join their band. Golden Fox respects the holy woman, and an albino warrior that she falls for, but they hold from her an important secret.
Then Golden Fox’s abusive hairy-face father finds her.

Do you know what bad water means, it is alcohol, firewater, and other names is called with the Indians. They understood the dangers that someone is ill and an alcoholic it must not have drink for the dangers it does to the body and soul and mind. This is an excellent book is a teaching book it teaches us that alcohol has been bad for people since the Indian era. This is a great book in my ways than one it’s great for you to read.
