Jimmy Bluefeather von Kim Heacox

A story about an old man, one of the last who remembers the old ways, and his relationships with his remaining children and grandchildren in southeastern Alaska. He knows he is an old man and he doesn't know what to do about it. There are no others like him. When his grandson James is in a terrible accident that ends the boy's hopes of a basketball career, Keb tries to help him by showing him the peace that results from learning the old ways.
