Soar with Native American author, Tanya R. Liverman as she unveils her deepest thoughts about faith and culture in this inspirational, extended lyric book, based on her spoken word album, Reflections from the Soul. Her writings are in response to a burning question of her past, "Can I be Indian and serve God without compromise?" In the poem "Reflections from the Soul," Tanya shares her Native American heritage as she takes you back to when she was a child, judged by her looks, and how she struggled with her identity. She describes the way her people survived and continue to claim their bloodline, leaving a priceless legacy. "It will not only educate, but also be a source of comfort and healing for many of our people who have struggled with issues of identity in a society hostile to the truth of who we are." Pastor John Norwood Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Councilman Principal Justice of the Tribal Supreme Court.
