Wandering Stars is a powerful, intergenerational story of survival, resistance, and reclamation. It begins in Colorado, 1864, where young Star survives the Sand Creek Massacre only to be imprisoned at Fort Marion, where he is forced to abandon his language and culture under the oppressive control of an evangelical guard—one who later founds the infamous Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Years later, Star’s son, Charles, is sent to that very school, where he endures the same erasure. There, he meets Opal Viola, and together they begin to dream of a future free from the violence that has haunted their families for generations. Told with lyrical beauty and searing honesty, this is a story of cultural genocide, generational trauma, and the unbreakable threads of love, memory, and identity that guide a people home.
