Publisher's Synopsis
Last month, on my sixteenth birthday, I had received some pretty nice gifts from my family...my eighteen-year-old step-sister Beverly included, but no gift in the material sense could compare to the emotional and spiritual gift that I had received during my walk on that hot secluded beach that Sunday morning. The gift of overwhelming pride for who I really am, was astonishing enough, but the realization that my people had been walking this earth for thousands of years, was nearly enough to buckle my knees. Respect for my family's heritage, and for my newly formed sense of pride, were more than I had bargained for, but for all the material gifts a person could possibly cherish, I wouldn't have traded those much more meaningful heartfelt gifts, for anything in the world. I had had no idea that the summer of twenty fourteen, was also going to be the summer that changed my life. Forever. In this story of newly found native pride, young Jasy Jacobs discovers an artifact on the beach which sets his destination into motion. He discovers that there is more to his physical being than meets the eye. With his wide open mind, and his wise old Grandfather's help, Jasy will discover a very important hidden truth behind an old legend, which is in need of a drastic rewrite. He will also learn a thing or two about respect and compassion, and what it really means for him to be a moon child.
