The Crow Child

Orphaned when he was three years-old, Elijah Day Clearwater is growing up with his grandfather on a small farm between the Sarsi Tsuu T'ina Reservation and the town of Canmore, Alberta. Elijah is also growing up with Cystic Fibrosis...But thirteen days before his thirteenth birthday, Elijah begins to have vivid dreams. The first one is of a chieftain leading a clan in 15th Century Ireland. The second dream is of the chief leading a band of Blackfoot living in 18th Century South Saskatchewan/North Dakota. Perhaps the dreams are just an outlet from the stress of a bully at school - or maybe they hint at his Destiny from an ancient legend that was foretold just before his birth under his fire-sign...
