Great read!
I found this little Treasure of a book on a random Kindle book search. The cover looked bland and boring but the summary caught my attention. The story is about two girls from two different time periods. One girl was on an archaeological dig with her father, studying the remains of the other girl's native American ancestrial village. Both girls foresee a disaster and try to save their loved ones. Both saw destruction by water. Ironically, even their mothers had similar names. Singing Bird's mother was called Purple Flower and Kate's mother was called Violet. In the end, Kate's intuition brought the answers to some of the mystery of what happened to Singing Bird's village and they got to honor both the ones they lost and the ancient Chumash who were also lost in that valley.
I was even more fascinated to learn this story was based on real events. Kate's having more factual evidence than Singing Bird's prehistoric peoples' part in the story. I live in California and never even heard of the chumash. Can't wait to learn more! Love books that make me want to research and educate myself Haha
