Description
Through the alternating voices of twelve-year-old Morning Girl and her younger brother Star Boy, we step into the extraordinarily rich lives of an indigenous family on a Bahamian Island in 1492—just as their paradise is about to be discovered and a new world order begins to take shape.
Beautifully painted in words by Michael Dorris and narrated with great sensitivity by sister and brother narrators Eliza and Riley Duggan, this exceptional recording will find its place in the hearts of listeners of all ages.
