Using Storytelling to reflect and shape culture

Is there a single discovery that makes an adult out of a child? Follow the adventures and misadventures of a young American Indian as he fumbles his way toward answers.

Born fatherless and impoverished, Ravenspeaker must learn the secrets of responsibility and self-determination. Without the guidance of a very young mother in need of these lessons herself, he must navigate horrific circumstances, incredible humiliation, and seemingly insurmountable hopelessness.

Along the way, he meets very special people who reveal pieces of the puzzle. With each new discovery, he gets closer to understanding what life-changing principle they all have in common.

Building a Man has the potential to change lives for the better. Read it.
