Abstract

Cecelia Bluespruce is a successful Native artist who has become trapped by shadows of her past. Her grown son, Jude, wants to learn about the father he has never known. Political activist Julian Morning Star, imprisoned twenty years for a crime he did not commit, is unaware that his son even exists. Troubled by dreams, lies and denial, Cecelia is guided toward acceptance of her own life by family and friends who have their own pasts to confront. Isleta Pueblo author Evelina Zuni Lucero joins us to talk about her book "Night Sky, Morning Star."
