When Iroquois warriors destroy her town in a terrifying massacre, 10-year old Calli loses everything.
Captured by an Indian brave, she is carried off to a distant village – to a nation of kinsmen totally unlike her own.
All that remains of her past life and family are her memories, and her dream to return to her people one day.
As time goes by however, Calli, now called Running Deer, gets to know and accept the customs of her new community.
Yet each day brings unexpected surprises.
"Ominously the bearskin was beginning to shake, first in slow ripples and then more and more quickly.
Suddenly, with a piercing shriek that shattered the suspended calm, the covering was completely thrown aside,
and in filed the most frightening individuals Running Deer had ever seen or imagined. She clutched Blue Cloud’s
arm in terror, but did not move."
Gradually, life changes for Calli. With the passing of the seasons, she begins to see her captors in a new light.
She learns to appreciate their traditions and comes to understand that they are not an uncivilized callous society,
but a proud people of wisdom, courage, honor, and strength. This realization creates the ultimate dilemma for her:
should she try to return to the world of her forefathers – or should she make peace with her new identity, and let go her dream?
To Let Go a Dream is a well-researched novel that takes the reader into the heart of Native American life.
It gives a balanced picture of hazards faced by both sides in the pioneering and Iroquois communities
and offers readers insight into self-awareness, tolerance and understanding between cultures. The book’s vivid,
fast-paced style, packed with action and realistic descriptions gives readers a lifelike view of this crucial period
in American history.
