Walk with Spirit, a Native American Approach to Spirituality

Susan is a Native American artist/author (a member of the Shawnee tribe). This is her 1st book whose theme is Native American Spirituality; with a Shawnee focus. The full-color cover (with UB coating producing a high-gloss finish) is a reproduction of her own painting entitled, "The Healer". As an artist accustomed to offering limited edition prints of her art images, in order to make this book more collectible she offers it as a signed and numbered 1st edition of 1100. All books are signed and numbered by the artist!
