"Thunder's Grace" is the tale of a remarkable elder, Grandma Grace Spotted Eagle, who adopted the author and guided her in spiritual awakening. At once harrowing and uplifting, this memoir takes us from her traumatic early life through to her transformative experiences with Grandma Grace and other legendary elders such as Wallace Black Elk, Rolling Thunder, and Chief Leonard Crow Dog; it culminates with her inclusion in the Sun Dance, one of the world's most venerable of sacred initiations. Intimate, honest, and spiritual in essence, this is a book about a woman's quest for meaning amid two cultures and a compelling account of the visionary side of life.
