The Girl Who Married the Moon

Synopsis:

This collection of traditional stories explores the significance of a young girl's rite of passage into womanhood. Each of these stories originated in the oral tradition and have been carefully researched. Joseph Bruchac, author of the best-selling Keeper's of the Earth series, and noted storyteller, has been entrusted with stories from elders of other native nations which ensures that the stories collected in The Girl Who Married the Moon are authentic.

The book is broken into four sections, signifying the importance of the number four to Native peoples, and provides an opportunity to hear from a wide variety of Native American tribal nations. These nations have offered to share their stories with their blessing, to celebrate the traditional ways.
