Lakota Way: Stories  Lessons for Living
reviewed on + 28 more book reviews


It is rare to find a storyteller who is also a natural healer; a person concerned not just with the excitement a story might generate, but also carrying deep intuitions about how each story has a teaching essence enfolded in it. With gentle humor and fierce beliefs about conduct of life, Joseph Marshall places his personal and magical words just so into the human heart, reminding us all through the stirring of memory that full capacity and beauty are still in each soul presently and irrevocably so. To cause memory, that has always been the real work of stories." - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., author of "Women Who Run with the Wolves" and "La Curandera"
