Standout stories include \"The Beauty Way,\" a moving account of an Apache rite of passage; \"Stonecoat,\" in which women defeat a powerful and dangerous medicine man through the strength of their moontime; and the title story, where a young woman not only marries the moon but shares in his sacred responsibilities. Together, these stories celebrate coming of age, cultural continuity, and the enduring power of women in Native storytelling traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Bruchac, coauthor of The Keepers of the Earth series, is a nationally acclaimed Native American storyteller and writer who has authored more than 70 books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for adults and children.
