In her first historical novel, Totems of September, Emmy-nominated author Robin Ladue uses her Native American storytelling tradition of circles on circles and lives on lives. It is interspersed with the culture of the Northwest and Plains tribes through the use of animal legend and myths. The juxtaposition of Wyoming's Devils Tower and the tragedy of September 11 brings to light little-known Native American history, as well as current themes: US soldiers' struggles through the fog of war, PTSD stemming from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the devastating health risks of 9/11 rescue workers.
Three memorable characters-dating from the early 1900s to 2006-their lineage and their families are woven together through the threads of history, human connections, hope, and redemption. The tenacity, warmth, humor, and love of Geronimo Barse and Billy Hawk shine through their painful experiences in the Indian boarding schools, World War II, and the loss of so many loved ones. Lola LeFleur and all the LeFleur women before her and to follow fight desperately to change their perceived destiny. The warmth and healing of the Diamond L Ranch, and the stability of Devils Tower in a world of terror, are integral factors in the rebuilding of so many shattered lives.
