Book excerpt: STORYTELLING AT ITS BEST FOR TWEENS & TEENS - FAITH & FAMILY-FRIENDLY - Book 1 in the Footsteps in the Canyon Adventure Series Thirteen-year-old Caitlyn knew that many feet had walked over the beautiful high meadow and into the deep rugged canyon she loved so much near her family’s guest ranch in the Oklahoma Panhandle. In addition to the hooves, padded paws, claws, and talons that still roamed this untamed land, there were the footsteps of boots, shoes, and moccasins of centuries past that had left their mark with stories to be told. What Caitlyn didn’t know was just how personal all those stories would become as she and her homeschooled friends left their own footsteps in the canyon. This exceptionally researched historical fiction series for tweens and teens combines stories from the present day with those of the settlers pushing West in the late 1800s and from the lives of the Kiowa Indians a century earlier. A GIFT FROM THE PAST (Story 1) Caitlyn’s discovery of a tragedy in the canyon by her home was unexpected. That day, she was only wishing to rest her eyes from staring at the computer screen and at the puzzle called mathematics. But this discovery was a different kind of puzzle, and with each piece she set in place, it squeezed her heart a little more. Yet she was drawn to it like a moth to a flame and would cherish it for the rest of her life. THE BIG WIND (Story 2) Over the years, many people had lived on the high meadow beside the box canyon, including those of the tipi village a hundred years ago. Now, thirteen-year-old Caitlyn lives on the same high meadow. She visits the same canyon with the river running through it. She feels the same sunshine and rain and even the whirling cone of wind dropping out of the clouds—that fearsome funnel of air and debris known as the twister. Staying safe would not be easy.
