This is a magnificent book. The "Mysteries of the Red Coyote Inn",  by Lorraine Carey, began in 1884 on Superstition Mountains,  in Arizona. The Apache savagely murdered the Peralta family and burned their cabin. Juha, aka 'Eagle Eye, saw a vision of a red coyote leading him toward one of the cabins; inside he found a small girl hiding. Juha, convinced that Yolanda was a healer, took her into his tent.The premise of the book is clearly evident above. What is more remarkable is its basis in reality. All cultures the world over have their myths and legends. Prominent among them is "The Chosen One". Searcing for that term, "The Chosen One" gets you 99 million 400 thousand results in 0.76 seconds. This has been a popular source of inspiration and prophecy since the earliest times of recorded history. From Jesus Christ to Barack Obama,these tales gave people something to believe in, to hope for, often at times that are unbearable. And when the prophecy is fulfilled, what joy and rejoicing abounds! This well-told story comes to us from the American Southwest, where it is (quote) "one of the greatest living legends" (end of quote) of the region. This is a story for all ages to read and enjoy, and to wonder about. Highly recommended.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofBoudicca: Warrior QueenI received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
