Especially now that one of the daughters and her…

Early morning, one of my daughters-in-law had…

Najiah comes from rural Oregon and dreams…

I am a trail-blazer.” ~ Susan La Flesche Picotte Eight-year-old Susan La Flesche sat at the bedside of an elderly Omaha Native woman. Her tummy twisted as she watched the elder’s jaw clench from pain. “Where is the…
