A Day Off for Reckoning

Poignant yet playful recollections in "A Day Off for Reckoning" Volume Two pick up on the young couple's life from Volume One. This 410 pages volume starts off with troubled wife woes. "Fala has a lot on her mind. She has a six month old baby boy and she is pregnant with her next child. Of Native American ancestry, she is too far apart from her past to know how its horrendous, but glorious roots are affecting her in the present. But Fala is a true trouper. She keeps plodding away in her stoic innocence that everything is going to be all right and everything is already exactly as it should be. 'Fala? You do have a lot on your mind - death birth scary neighbors - and premonitions about losing your children.'" After having almost lost her second child during childbirth, Fala is ready to settle down and enjoy the summer mountain air. But unbeknownst to her, her husband is leading a duplicitous life that she knows nothing about. And his plans aren't quite coinciding with Fala's. His plans cause cataclysmic events which lead Fala to finally renounce Wasi'chu ways.
