Regina Tucker is a retired English teacher that has published several historical poems and stories about the Midwest and the Old West. One of her favorite themes is Native Americans”--in honor of her great-grandmother who was Cherokee. Much of her work is invocative and thought-provoking and strikes a chord deep in the heart of the human spirit. And its storytelling qualities are reminiscent of her own days of sitting spell-bound at the feet of her story-telling father. Most of it has been inspired by her own cultural history, travels, and in the experiences of raising four highly-imaginative and spirited children in a small town in the Midwest. Her many walks with them in the woods and ”listening for echoes and voices of nature and history”has now extended to the next generation of "believers." That's who this book has been dedicated to. She resides with her husband and hiking partner in Gilbert, Arizona where she views the Superstition Mountains from her back deck every day and says that we can look forward to other offerings of delightful and intriguing tales.
