Navajo writer Brian Young’s debut novel “Healer of the Water Monster” features the story of Nathan who makes a trip to his grandmother’s place on the Navajo Nation.

He encounters a holy being who prompts him to become a helper. It’s his courage that lands him the role of being the big thinker.

As Young says, his kindness makes him the true hero of the story inspired by a dream the author had when he was seven.

Native America Calling will hear more about the book on our July Book of the Month in a visit with Brian Young.
