About this listen

A century ago, the American Southwest was a region of savage natural beauty. There, the Navajo people worshipped the land, spinning folk tales into legends and prayers into songs. But besieged by US Army soldiers, the tribe was suddenly thrust into a battle that nearly destroyed the proudly woven fabric of its culture.

Riding the storm of change are three strong and uniquely gifted women. Deezbaa, called Going Off to War, the clan chief’s wife, is a healer respected for her enigmatic wisdom. Ayoi, the Tall One, Deezbaa’s daughter, promises to honor her husband’s ways, but chooses her own path. Her daughter, Pahe, She Who Hears the Sun, will listen to her spirit partners and guide the tribe towards its ultimate destiny.

Through the terrifying years called the Fearing Time, the clan is savaged by rival tribes and army raids. Yet, even as the Navajo are forced to make the long walk to imprisonment at the Bosque Redondo, Pahe summons the will to reawaken the time-honored traditions that once bound her people to the land and to each other.

A story of nature’s magic and man’s malice, of the brutal savagery of war and the healing power of the human spirit, Pamela Jekel brings a proud people’s sacred customs to life with the grace of a born storyteller. Pamela Jekel’s historical novels have won acclaim the world over.

Publishers Weekly hailed her novel, Natchez, as “grandly imagined” with “Michener-like scope.” Booklist called Bayou “smooth and sweeping, like the lawn of a plantation.”

Now, from this New York Times best-selling author comes another magnificent family saga, She Who Hears the Sun.
