    The peace that Shining Light and his family have enjoyed in the Land of the Tall Trees is shattered by his young daughter. Dove's dream of mustangs, and of a young American Indian boy named Singing Stone, and his family known as the Mustang People, will not let her rest. 
"This is an awesome sage of the closeness between man and nature. It shows the Indian traditions and their closeness in listening to the signs of nature." Jacqueline Moors 
The coming of the wild mustangs blessed Singing Stone's people with a better way of life, and now these beautiful creatures are being slaughtered. Spurred on by the discovery of the yellow stone, the Hairy-Faces join with the Likes to Fight People to drive out other bands. What better way to weaken the Mustang People than to capture or kill the mustangs? Singing Stone and his family fight to protect them, but what can three do against many? 
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the 3rd book in the extraordinary, award-winning “Shining Light’s Saga” series. Take an authentic journey into a culture lost to time and the ravages of “progress.” 
"This is a powerful journey and I found the characters spoke to me. Like Circles and Spirals, it is all about tradition and valuable life lessens missing from the majority of our lives today. The human and animal bond, the respect for earth, the vital connection of all living things, and the interactions between the elders and the children is priceless. It is a spiritual journey, but an easy read. It is chock full of humour and wit and teaches us to listen and follow our hearts, so many of the things we lack in the world today, at least in my opinion." Loveworks

    From incredible storyteller and nationally bestselling author Elle Newmark comes a rich, sweeping novel that brings to life two love stories, ninety years apart, set against the backdrop of war-torn India. In 1947, an American anthropologist named Martin Mitchell wins a Fulbright Fellowship to study in India. He travels there with his wife, Evie, and his son, determined to start a new chapter in their lives. Upon the family’s arrival, though, they are forced to stay in a small village due to violence surrounding Britain’s imminent departure from India. It is there, hidden behind a brick wall in their colonial bungalow, that Evie discovers a packet of old letters that tell a strange and compelling story of love and war involving two young Englishwomen who lived in the very same house in 1857. Drawn to their story, Evie embarks on a mission to uncover what the letters didn’t explain. Her search leads her through the bazaars and temples of India as well as the dying society of the British Raj. Along the way, a dark secret is exposed, and this new and disturbing knowledge creates a wedge between Evie and her husband. Bursting with lavish detail and vivid imagery of Bombay and beyond, The Sandalwood Tree is a powerful story about betrayal, forgiveness, fate, and love.
