The world is crying out from the imbalances of na-ture. Death is a stench in the air. With the giant Xinkwelenowaks as his spirit guides, Tom Talking Coyote Jefferson has to find the way back through a portal older than time, back into the Old World where man came from, to a place known only in the myths and legends of Native American peoples. And time is running out. An authentic Native American voice relates stories of modern reservation life blended with ancient Lenape tribal lore. Take a read: you'll find yourself seated in tribal councils and conducted on vision quests into the farthest reaches of the universe. You'll watch the ani-mals turn human and tell their tales, and finally you may come to understand and respect the vitality of a cul-ture which seeks balance in all things. Jake George is a writer who deserves the same attention and respect earned by such fine novelists as Sherman Alexie and Tony Hillerman. Sara Williams Archebooks' best-selling author of The Don Juan Con and The Serenoa Scandal.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic storytelling at its best!,
By J. Russell (Central FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grandfather's Song (Hardcover)
A Lenape himself, Jake George is the real deal. In Grandfather's Song he delves deeply into old time as well as modern Native American culture and crafts a magnificent, moving, and timeless story in which nature, family, and spirituality are closely intertwined. Indeed we have so much to learn from our Native American brothers and sisters...Mr George honors their heritage while inviting us to understand it and the importance of its wisdom. Grandfather's Song is a beautiful work, a wonderful read, and a fantastic journey into the Native heart of America...Bravo! I'm very much looking forward to continuing the adventure in A New Dawn.

Jake George has the gift of storytelling,

This review is from: Grandfather's Song (Hardcover)
Many people can write a book, but few can tell a story in the old way like Jake George does in "Grandfather's Song." A Native American tale, "Grandfather's Song" offers a fresh new voice to fans of well-told stories and Native Legends brought to life. Thank you, Jake, for the wonderful read. I would highly recommend this book, and hope more works are forthcoming.

This review is from: Grandfather's Song (Kindle Edition)
Although a fiction based on Native American legend, I felt as if I was in the book experiencing everything the characters experienced. It will make you stop and thing about the current state of affairs of the world today and wonder if this could come to fruition! Absolutely an awesome book - a must read for all!
