For Idella Bodie, the writing of her twenty-fourth book, Sacred Vision, was the culmination of a life-long dream. She always loved reading about Native Americans and empathizing with them. This story is based on a true happening taking place in Ocmulgee, Georgia, in 1716. Upon the vote of the Creek council, the Creeks leave their home on the Ocmulgee River for British Fort Moore on the Savannah River to serve as a abuffera against the French and other warring Indians. Half-breed fifteen-year-old Hotule already struggles against his cruel cousin when his grandfather, Broken Spirit, asks that his grandson seek his vision to give hope to his people. Hotule meets an even bigger challenge in being separated from the only home heas ever known. This is the story of his struggle and of finding his place in the awhitea manas world.
I really enjoyed this one! I haven‘t read any fiction about the Indigenous people of North America, so this was a first for me. It was intriguing and a great short story! I think that Bodie does an amazing job with this novella.
