The book presents an array of poetic narratives that delve into legends and folklore, aiming to capture the essence of the lives, beliefs, and struggles of Native American tribes. It also includes miscellaneous poems that reflect on broader themes of love, loss, and nature. Throughout the collection, Horsford weaves rich imagery and emotional depth into her verse, presenting stories such as "The Phantom Bride," where a lover's tragedy unfolds amidst the chaos of war, and "The Laughing Water," which tells of an Indian mother who embraces her fate with resolve.
