Description
Past and present entwine to share wondrous events that bring us closer to our source. Magical encounters and scientific discovery merge seamlessly in this adventurous story. The setting: beside a lake a young native boy plays musical bones, an ancient pastime handed down by elders and ancestors while fishing.
