In this remarkable novel, story-teller and poet Jeffrey DeLotto crafts the tale of Two Hawks who is, though old, on a spiritual quest, a man both weak and strong, dangerous and wise, willing to learn, to help others and to shed blood. Although Two Hawks felt and knew and feared the powers of the spirits, and they did frequently speak to him through birds and bears and once even a fish, he was no longer confident that the most powerful spirits listened to and protected the Caddo.
