About this listen

Through the alternating voices of 12-year-old Morning Girl and her younger brother Star Boy, we step into the extraordinarily rich lives of an indigenous family on a Bahamian Island in 1492, just as their paradise is about to be discovered and a new world order begins to take shape.

Beautifully painted in words by Michael Dorris, and performed with great sensitivity by sister/brother voices Eliza and Reilly Duggan, this exceptional recording will find its place in the hearts of listeners of all ages.
