Official synopsis Publisher
Voices In The Wind is a fast-paced Western novel and also a sensitive study of religious and racial tolerance. Billy Brigham (Walking Short), a full-blooded Shoshone Indian, was raised by a Shoshone tribe, then adopted by a prominent Mormon family. He does not feel fully accepted in either world, yet honors the good in both. When he rescues the Brisk family he faces the rage of outlaws, the anger of his own people, and the sting of racial prejudice. By seeking God and communing with his Indian ancestors, he finds the strength to conquer and to win Mae’s love. Careful research and animated writing create an old Mormon West you’ll remember long after you absorbed the final words.
