The Chief's Daughter — Thomas Perry

The Chief's Daughter is a touching Thanksgiving novella about misunderstanding, humility, and the power of peace.When the most beautiful woman of the Willow Creek Tribe, Ahyv, the daughter of Chief Wansapi, is mistaken by newly arrived pilgrims for a goddess, a single moment of awe spirals into fear and captivity. But instead of calling for blood, the wise chief chooses a different path: peace.He invites the settlers to a grand harvest feast, offering food, music, and forgiveness instead of war. Around the great fire, two worlds meet, divided by language and belief, yet united by shared humanity. Through food, laughter, and the chief's wisdom, the pilgrims realize their grave mistake and return Ahyv to her people.Set against the golden backdrop of the first harvest, The Chief's Daughter is a timeless tale of understanding, respect, and the enduring spirit of Thanksgiving.
