Taming the Blowing Wind by Teresa Garcia

I live in an area where we are surrounded by the echoes of this long forgotten spirit world. There was just enough of the Irish mother's spiritual heritage to remind me, personally, that this way of looking at nature: where mountains and lakes and rivers are inhabited by entities that may be malevolent, benevolent, or simply indifferent to man, was also shared by the Gaels of my own country.

Personally, I would have preferred to remain in America and learn much more about the wonderful and mysterious native culture there, but I had the feeling we were retracing the steps taken by the author at some point in her life. She travels to Japan on a spiritual quest, where she encounters the Japanese equivalent of the Native American spirit world. Later she is devastated by the death of her lover, to the point that her soul is fractured into the separate components that make up a human psyche. Although her father is killed while she is still a child she continues to follow the spirit path of her Apache heritage. Our heroine, the wonderfully named, BlowingWind MountainChild, is the daughter of an Irish mother and an Apache father. As I read on, I was reminded that this spiritual perception of nature, and the world at large, is shared by many other cultures in many other parts of the world. But this is no preachy evangelical sermon, or airy fairy new age nonsense, this is the spirit world of the Native Americans.
