Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life among the Navajo People

In the early 1970s, a young teacher arrives on the Navajo reservation, struggling to connect with her students and their culture. However, by learning the Navajo language, she gains the trust of the people and becomes deeply involved in their mystical world. She witnesses miracles, including her own healing after the elders pray for her, and has intense encounters with both a mountain lion and a shape-shifting skinwalker. Over time, she immerses herself in the traditional life of the Navajo, learning to herd sheep, make fry bread, and participate in sacred rituals. Years later, she fulfills a prophecy by returning to serve as a doctor in the community, where more miraculous events unfold.
