Publisher's Summary

Talks Like Thunder will tear at your heart and take your soul on an emotional mission.” (Dennis Banks, author of Ojibwa Warrior and cofounder of the American Indian Movement (AIM))

“A terrific read!” (Bill Thompson, editor of Stephen King’s Carrie and John Grisham’s A Time to Kill)

She’s not sacrificing anything without a fight. As a survivor enters an uncertain landscape, can she protect the ones she cherishes?

Arizona Territory, 1871. Seven-year-old Talks Like Thunder can’t imagine life outside of her Apache family. So after both her parents succumb to deadly disease, her heart is ripped in two when her estranged grandfather takes her to his Chiricahua village. And as she blossoms into a young woman, her extraordinary insights into ancient mystical beliefs transform her into a fierce warrior.

Preparing to defend their sacred land from invading White men, the driven protector falls for a fellow fighter and his words of a brighter future. But when their tribe is captured by US soldiers, Thunder’s years in captivity fuel her to return to those she loves and take revenge on those who stole her innocence.

Meticulously completed posthumously, author Randal Nerhus has lovingly curated Marjorie Carter’s remarkable fictional account of one woman’s journey of compassion, loyalty, and respect for the earth. Through three interconnected tales, Talks Like Thunder’s struggle to retain the dignity and freedom integral to her centuries-old culture serves as a reminder of the spiritual strength revealed in Indigenous American history.

If you like authentic historical backdrops, empowered female protagonists, and triumphs of the human spirit, then you’ll love Randal Nerhus and Marjorie Carter’s awe-inspiring odyssey.
