Author H. J. Courtright has composed a tale of loss and renewal in the New Age novella novella: see novel.
novella

Story with a compact and pointed plot, often realistic and satiric in tone. Originating in Italy during the Middle Ages, it was often based on local events; individual tales often were gathered into collections.
, Soaring Eagle, Spirit of the Wind. This piece lyrically illustrates the process of evolution required to survive tragedy and pain.

Rosalie lost her parents in a car accident at the age of six. Her childhood abandoned her as well, thrusting Rosalie into a life of guilt, isolation, and addiction. Nothing in Rosalie's adult life places a hold on her strong enough to save her from the grieving that has taken place over twenty years TWENTY YEARS. The lapse of twenty years raises a presumption of certain facts, and after such a time, the party against whom the presumption has been raised, will be required to prove a negative to establish his rights.

. "Loneliness forbade forgiving her parents for their death." Instead, Rosalie turns to heroin for comfort.

During a search for lost childhood memories with her friend, Alison, Rosalie faces her own death and soul loss. Her imminent demise is seen in a vision by the healer, Soaring Eagle. The journeys of the young woman and the shaman intersect as Rosalie searches for The Stones of the Four Corners and the answer to the great mystery in the spirit world while Soaring Eagle seeks to save her body and soul.

Soaring Eagle, Spirit of the Wind is thick with allegory and poetry. Courtright's use of shamanism shamanism /sha·man·ism/ (shah´-) (sha´mah-nizm?) a traditional system, occurring in tribal societies, in which certain individuals (shamans) are believed to be gifted with access to an invisible spiritual  to spin a tale of deep self-exploration and forgiveness brilliantly exhibits the complexity of spirituality and healing. This is a beautiful story of surrender.
