Wind Over Marshdale

By Tracy Krauss

Description:

Marshdale. Just a small farming community where nothing special hap-pens. A perfect place to start over… or get lost. There is definitely more to this prairie town than meets the eye. Once the meeting place of aboriginal tribes for miles around, some say the land itself was cursed because of the people’s sin. But its history goes farther back than even indigenous oral history can trace and there is still a direct descendant who has been handed the truth, like it or not. Exactly what ties does the land have to the medicine of the ancients? Is it cursed, or is it all superstition? Wind Over Marshdale is the story of the struggles within a small prairie town when hidden evil and ancient medicine resurface. This suspenseful story is one of human frailty - prejudice, cowardice, jealousy, and greed – magnified by powerful spiritual forces that have remained hidden for centuries, only to be broken in triumph by grace.

Book Takeaway:

God looks at people's hearts not at the color of their skin, or their religious background. Also, staying pure before God takes work and shouldn't;t be taken for granted.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was interested in the struggle between traditional Christianity and native spirituality. I also wanted to highlight the subtle form that racism can take as well as the fact that hidden sin can affect anyone.
