Billie is the first in his family to attend school. Now he walks in two worlds--the traditonal world of his ancestors and the modern world of teachers, tourists, and schoolmates. Billie's grandfather, Abraham, tells him the legends, stories, and rituals that are important to the Seminole people. Abraham says that an honest man who leads a good life will walk the path to the city in the sky when he dies. But Billie wants to learn more about the white man's ways. Caught between two cultures, which path will Billie take?

About me- My background is in Antiquarian Books, library procurement, and organizing used book sales for schools and libraries. I’ve had training in book preservation and restoration. I LOVE BOOKS. I’ve collected them since I could hold them and look at their pictures. I still have my very first little books. That said, it’s been a passion and a goal to get books into the hands of people who will love them. Before the internet I did Book Searches for people by combing used bookstores, thrift stores, flea markets, and library sales. My home is smoke-free and pet-free.
