From bestselling Native American writer Joseph M. Marshall III (The Lakota Way, The Journey of Crazy Horse) comes an inspirational guide deeply rooted in Lakota spirituality.
Grandfather says this: In life there is sadness as well as joy, losing as well as winning, falling as well as standing, hunger as well as plenty, bad as well as good. I do not say this to make you despair, but to teach you
that life is a journey sometimes walked in light and sometimes in shadow.
Grandfather says this: Keep going.
When a young mans father dies, he turns to his sagacious grandfather for comfort. Together they sit underneath the familys cottonwood tree, and the grandfather shares his perspective on life, the perseverance it requires, and the pleasure and pain of the journey. Filled with dialogue, stories, and recollections, each section focuses on a portion of the prose poem Keep Going and provides commentary on the text.
Readers will draw comfort, knowledge, and strength from the Grandfathers wise wordsjust as Marshall himself did.
