Her age made it apparent: Cornwoman, the renowned storyteller and treasured elder of the Mogollon people, was reaching her final years of life. The respect for her stories and knowledge among her people reminded her that a successor must be chosen soon as the next storyteller.However, it had to be a person young in age and positive in spirit, who found beauty in God’s creation and appreciation and allegiance for her people.Last Moon for Cornwoman describes Cornwoman’s mission to find her successor among her people. First though, she meets a young twelve-year-old girl who is curious about nature and loves the stories of Cornwoman. The girl, named Spotted Owl, is asked to join Cornwoman as she takes one of her beloved walks in the woods and soon becomes entrenched in a few of the older woman’s expressive stories.The historical novel by author Charles Fellers brings to readers’ attention the existence of the Mogollon people, who resided in what are now parts of Arizona and New Mexico from 100 BC to 1250 AD.As Cornwoman shares with Spotted Owl stories about her first love, her family and the courageous spirit of the Mogollon people, she begins to inspire Spotted Owl to see that the stories are not only stories of their people’s past.
