Lana's Lakota Moons

Lori is a quiet, contemplative bookworm. Lana is an outspoken adventures. Different as they are, they are first cousins, sisters in the Lakota way. And when both befriend a Hmong girl new to their school, the discovery of a culture so strange to them and so rich with possibilities brings them together as never before in an experience of life and loss. As the girls learn of the moons of the Lakota calendar, they also learn that the circle of life is never broken, even when death comes to one of them.

A simple story of friendship surviving a tragic year, this tale, steeped in Lakota lore, illuminates profound shared truths about the human spirit and those truths that are only and deeply our own.
