Fiction
Frankie Chasing Bear is caught between cultures. She wants
to raise her son Harold to revere his Lakota heritage, but
she knows he will need to learn the white man’s ways to
succeed. After the untimely death of her husband, Frankie
joins the U.S. Government’s Relocation Program and moves
to Arizona. There she begins sewing a Lakota Star pattern
quilt for Harold with tribal wisdom sung, sewn, and prayed
into it. A bed without a quilt is like a sky without stars, but
neither the quilt—nor her new life—comes easily to
Frankie. Nick Vandergriff, for instance, is the last man
Frankie wants to trust. He’s half-Lakota but Christian,
and Frankie can see no good coming from that faith after her
own parents were forced to convert at an Indian school. Can
Nick convince Frankie that white men and Christians aren’t
all bad? And will Frankie learn that love is the most
important ingredient—for her son’s quilt and life itself?
