"Love is very tricky", warns Winona Pathfinder, the elderly medicine woman who has introduced psychologist Meggie O'Connor to the spiritual ways of Lakota prayer and healing. Soon, however, Meggie's teacher and friend will cross over to the Other Side, leaving Meggie, just forty and newly divorced, to make her way on her own. But before she goes, Winona nudges her younger cousin Hawk to walk alongside Meggie on a journey of the heart and soul. Wary yet optimistic, these two seek out the Pipe Road -- the path that will lead them to harmony with the world and with each other. Love may indeed be tricky, but with faith and hope, it is a road they will attempt to navigate. Graceful and powerful, its story deeply rooted in traditional Lakota teachings, Compass of the Heart is a moving song full of wonder and magic, an incandescent tale of love in all its dimensions.

"In this universe, there are Good Spirits, Trickster Spirits, and Evil Spirits", announced Winona, the elderly Sioux medicine woman to psychologist Dr. Meggie O'Connor before departing to the Other Side.

In this lyrical tale of love and healing, Winona's cousin Hawk and Meggie struggle to help Winona's grandson make sense of a terrible, traumatic experience. Love is always at the center, as "Crack at Dusk: Crook of Dawn" delves into the bicultural conflict between the medicine man and the psychologist struggling in their own ways to heal the boy. Together, Hawk and Meggie rediscover the healing power of the Sacred Pipe, stories, and the human imagination.

A bank robbery gone awry. A pair of unlikely, unrelated female hostages - the rebellious young runaway Phoeniix Knott and the opinionated octogenarian Kate Aregood - creating an explosive cross-country jouney with the pistol-packing Billy T.
