“When two feathers fell from the sky” by Margaret Verble
It’s Nashville, 1926, and diver-horse Cherokee Two Feathers has temporarily left a Wild West show to work at Glendale Park Zoo. After a disaster strikes one of his shows and his beloved mare, Ocre, passes away, Two Feathers joins other park workers to find out what happened.
Weaving period details with supernatural elements, Verble tackles key issues of the time while revolving his ghost story around the fictional employees of a park that actually existed.
The author is a registered citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
