Morning Girl

Morning Girl

Author(s): Michael Dorris

Location(s): The Bahamas

Genre(s): Historical, Fiction

Era(s): 1492

In alternating chapters, Morning Girl, a twelve year old Taino, and her younger brother, Star Boy, vividly recreate life on a Bahamian island in 1492 — a life that is rich, complex, and soon to be threatened.

The award-winning author of A Yellow Raft in Blue Water presents a tale based on an entry in the diary of Christopher Columbus that tells of a native family living in a vibrant community striving to coexist with the natural world.
