Singing the Moon into the Sky

About the Book

Singing the Moon into the Sky is a passionate mystery of the Flowerday Family's genealogical roots, grown deep and hidden in the ancient soils of the Little Miami River Valley, in Southwestern Ohio.

A century of oppression and aggression sent many freedom runners of the 1800's through the river valley to breath and life. The Flowerday sisters are descendants of the valley's legendary medicine woman, Ceecee "Cloudwoman."

They have returned to maintain the family farm near Fort Ancient. Through a series of remarkable adventures into the underworld of artifact theft, murder and repatriation of human remains, the sisters discover their own purpose in the history of the high place once called Moon City of the Grandmothers, and are forced to keep their bold promise to the "old ones" of Fort Ancient.
