Her childhood friends are either stuck at dead ends or have moved on to accomplish Big Things.n nSkye's grandmother, Verna, insists on being called Sparrow because she suspects her ancestors were Muscogee Creek. She dresses in faux deerskin and experiments with ancient Native American recipes, offering a myth or legend to anyone who will listen.n nSkye has no idea what to do with her life. She's smart as hell, but she has no faith or knowledge there's something out there she was born to do.
