In this sequel toThe Magpie Odyssey, Colleen Lorrah comes home to her family's sprawling Montana sheep ranch on the Crow Indian Reservation. Her Irish hero, MacCumhaill, has been killed in a vicious bombing in Ireland, and all her efforts to put the horror of this event behind her have failed. Her personal struggle to recover from grief drives her to seek refuge in one of the ranch's mountain line camps. Her family's close-knit history with the Crow Tribe provides her with partial answers and direction as she struggles with her wounded spirit. Guidance comes from parallels between Indian tradition and ancient Irish tribal legends, revealing knowledge long hidden from the modern world. New strength delivered to her from hidden sources helps her face the violence and danger that follows her from Ireland. Along the way, Colleen gathers power from ancient beliefs to defeat dark forces that threaten her survival. A final trip to Ireland must be made to bring the family birthright full circle and set the stage for the future of the Lorrah legacy.Lynde, Lorretta is the author of 'Mountain Medicine: The Magpie Odyssey II', published 2007 under ISBN 9780595424498 and ISBN 059542449X.
