Wokini

A long time ago, I've purchased this book just because I like to have all the books of a specific author. But... reading it, it was a beautiful surprise.


Wokini: A Lakota Journey to Happiness and Self-Understanding by Billy Mills & Nicholas Sparks


About the book

This is a parable of a young man's spiritual quest begins with death and moves toward life. When his favorite sister dies, the grieving young Lakota, David, is given a mysterious scroll by his father. Through visionary teachings, David learns how to move past his pain and into happiness.

Wokini, translated from Lakota, means seeing a new beginning or seeking a new vision. This book will teach you about yourself, show you what it means to be happy and lead you on a journey to feel more satisfied in your life.
