Originally published in 1978, this work reflected a range of views on Native Americans in Iowa: those of the Native Americans themselves, those of Euro-Americans, of lay people and professionals. This expanded edition reflects the recent changes encountered by Native American Indians in the region.

The second installment in the Ghosts Never Die series takes place ten years before the journey the Wanderer embarked upon in the pages of 29 Palms: An American Odyssey for True Love. In The Bridge Between Two Rivers, you will sink into the long night and meet the voice within the shadows that whisper; the long, dead, and dreaded “Man in the Hat.” At the beginning upon the Wanderer’s return to the Y-Bridge City, he seeks a conference with his darker half to settle things between the two of them once and for all, but the friction persists. It’s a story fraught with struggle. From mischief to madness, the "Man in the Hat“ coaxes him closer towards the abyss at every turn. All is nearly lost until the Wanderer is driven back to the bridge, where it doesn’t matter which way you’re going there’s still two ways that you can turn.

Farro Fescu is the proud and observant concierge of Echo Terrace, a condominium in New York City. Passing through his lobby at all hours is an exotic cross-section of the world's population: an Egyptian-born plastic surgeon who specializes in gender reassignment, a fighter pilot who flew for Nazi Germany during World War II, an Iraqi spice merchant and the world-famous quilter with whom he's having an affair, the adulterer's son who dreams of becoming an undertaker, and the widow whose apartment is a jungle Eden filled with a menagerie of specimens. Farro Fescu knows them all, knows all their secrets. Yet he does not know what is in his own heart -- why, after a long, hard life, he is still alive, and still alone. Nor does he know what he will be capable of in the face of sudden, overwhelming tragedy. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
