Yellow Dirt

Yellow dirt gathers in the creases of the toddler's dirty blue jeans and on the little hands used to brush away a pesky fly. The same yellow particles that cling to the walls of the Hogan, contaminates the drinking water and fills the air where his father works only to come home covered with yellow dust. Yellow dirt. That enriches the powerful, but at the expense of the unsuspecting Dinè.



Sam Klah, now a teenager and left to fend for himself after his mother's death, is determined to leave the Chindi plagued Hogan and track down his only living relative—little knowing something far more terrifying than Chindi spirits awaits him just down the trail.
