When the Night Bird Sings

In this collection of luminous vignettes, beloved inspirational writer Joyce Sequichie Hifler, author of A Cherokee Feast of Days and Think on These Things, tells for the first time the story of her own childhood spent in Cherokee Country. From a family so poor that an eight-dollar monthly check was a godsend, Hifler shares the profound lessons she learned from her elders and from the Great Spirit. A gracefully written story of contemporary Native American life and spirituality, When the Night Bird Sings soars with trademark Hifler insight, a poignant appreciation for nature, and the universal magic of childhood.
