Review & Description
The conflict between good and evil, so exemplified by the terrible tragedy of September 11, affected New York City in the mid-1800's as well. It's all depicted in the Carol Ann Lindsay second novel, IN THE SHADOW OF SANDWALKER.
In this story, White Feather, daughter of Sandwalker and Captain Henry Whitney, abandons life in the Oregon Territory tribe to search for her white heritage. After a harrowing journey across the Oregon Trail, which includes an encounter with William Harbison near Fort Laramie, she arrives in New York City. Using her birth name, Marissa Whitney, she experiences the good and evil sides of the human spirit as she connects with her powerful Whitney heritage. As Marissa confronts New York society, street orphans, the Negro issue and the Civil War, she is catapulted to the pinnacles of wealth and power. In the end her indomitable spirit is set free to love in spite of hate and to have hope instead of despair. Read more
