Hattie Ellenberg welcomes the challenge and the chance to
have another woman in her house. The laughter had gone out
of their lives one bleak winter night, years earlier, when
Hattie's husband and daughter were killed in a Comanche
raid. By the grace of God, Hattie and her son, Joe,
survived. It was then that Joe not only lost his father and
sister, but also his faith. Hattie wants him to forgive and
forget, but it was a hard life before the raid and near
impossible since.
Eyes-of-the-Sky has been taken from her Comanche village
and placed in the Ellenberg home. She knows she does not
look like a Comanche, but she remembers no other life. Eyes-
of-the-Sky begins to absorb the kindness of Hattie, the
words read to her each night from a book they call the
Bible and begins to ask, "Who am I? Where do I belong?" And
tender feelings start appearing in the region of her heart
when she thinks of Joe. Will Hattie's prayers be answered
when she sees her son begin a path back towards the Lord?
HOMECOMING is a beautiful and heartfelt journey of
forgiveness and strength leading us on a path of courage,
faith and love. HOMECOMING is a tender story told by a
blessed and gifted storyteller. I know you'll be moved as I
was.
Jill Marie Landis weaves an unforgettable story about a
young woman adrift in two worlds, and her courageous
journey to discovery, belonging, and love.
Tell me who I am, Tell me where I belong. I am a woman
without a name, without a home…
For the first time, Eyes-of-the-Sky prayed to the white
man's God. One look in the mirror told her she was not a
Comanche…yet she remembered no other life. She watched the
whites who had taken her after her "rescue," the mother,
Hattie, and her handsome son, Joe, and wondered what her
life had been like before her childhood abduction. She
looked at Joe, who had suffered much and forgave little,
and knew a longing in her heart. But questions remained:
What am I? Who am I?
