Jacob and Rachel — Frederick Mandell

Jacob Levy in search of Native American Indian, Austin Red Moon, medicine elder, is lead to the Eagle Ridge Reservation. The unexpected crossing of the hearts parallels the Biblical narrative of Jacob and Rachel and its extraordinary love story. Jacob's journey is intricately woven into the turmoil of reservation civil war; a war which is heartbreakingly sad and a love which is heartbreakingly joyful. With Austin Red Moon, Jacob is entrusted with the ways of a healer, set down gently and honestly. What he learns, he keeps with him for the rest of his existence as his guide post in a life of medicine.
