A grand Native American family saga. There are drums that heal and drums that can kill. They become one with the person who guards them. Faye Travers has Native blood in her veins, but she only connects her heritage with her passion for Native American antiques. Until she stumbles upon a beautiful old drum. The search for its rightful owner takes Faye to the Indian reservation and soon becomes a journey of discovery into her own family's history. "The Sound of the Drum" explores the great questions of life, including betrayal, guilt, love, and forgiveness. "The Sound of the Drum" offers what we hope for from great literature: answers to the profound questions of life. This is world literature between Faulkner and Proust.
