The Last Ghost Dancer: A Novel

This is a remarkable coming-of-age story and spiritual journey with as much between the lines as in them. Sometimes wry always thoughtful the characters seem to live and breathe and you wont soon forget them.―Senator Byron Dorgan The Last Ghost Dancer is more than a coming-of-age fable more than the wry memoirs of a spiritual search. It is the story of a remarkable summer in a remarkable west river town. It is a commentary on the depth and breadth of friendships forged of lovers lost and the realization that it is the journey that is of importance and not so much the destination. Looking back as old men do its hard to imagine it really happened. But it did. One wise teacher one perfect girl one harrowing summer can set the course of a lifetime. Meet Bones the wry funny ever-observant thoughtful and hapless narrator a grease monkey at the only gas station in Pale Butte whose most recent claim to fame is dropping an Edsel off the hoist. Now some sixty years later Bones a dreamer of apocalyptic dreams reflects on miracles small and large and his spiritual discovery that marked the summer of 1977.
