Description
by Karen Swasey (Author)
Maverick: I Dream of Being a Nokota is told through the eyes of a horse who dreams of freedom and belonging, with the belief that every life has a story worth telling, and every soul deserves to be seen.
Karen Swasey's first book, The Runner Who Never Ran, explores the legacy of strength and stillness. In Maverick's tale, she returns to those themes... this time through the voice of a horse whose spirit echoes the traditions of Native peoples who honor the horse, not merely as a companion, but as sacred kin-woven into the family, the land, and the stories that endure.
This book is a tribute to the Nokota lineage, to the sacred relationship between humans and horses, and the stories that shape us. Whether you're reading this as a rider, a dreamer, or a seeker of grace, may Maverick's voice remind you: your story matters. Your roots matter. And the journey toward healing begins when we listen to the voices that have carried us all along.
