Publisher Description: Morgan Bluestone, Tom Claffey's ninth novel, is an easy read. It follows Morgan, a native of Kewa Pueblo, as she attends school at Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine, then strikes out on her own as a veterinarian near Shiprock, New Mexico. It also tells the story of Morgan's spiritual connection to a herd of bison she helps transfer to the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana. Although passionate about her chosen career, the young veterinarian faces real obstacles when it comes to balancing the traditions of her Navajo grandmother and the modern demands of her job. Claffey does not overlook the element of romance in the story. Love stories and career challenges aside, the heart of the novel comes when Morgan stays true to her Native roots and returns to the reservation to serve her people. |
