Chapter 60: JOY COMES IN THE MORNING

Chief Long Knife's mother clucked her tongue softly. She'd been unusually quiet, keeping to the shadows since they'd joined the Mohawk tribe. Dark Star didn't question her, believing they were all grieving in their own way those they'd lost in the cholera plague.

"Crying is stopping your milk. This stress is not good. Torris is our future chief. For his sake, you must forget your own sorrow..."

On the surface, Small Bird's words seemed harsh yet Dark Star saw the wisdom behind them. In her arms lay the reason her husband had been quick to remarry. If anything should happen to this baby on her account…

Small Bird wasn't implying their marriage was on shaky ground and was unaware Dark Star had misunderstood her meaning as she retreated back into the shadows.

Dark Star knew her mother-in-law was correct, yet that did not stop the flood of tears. Torris wailed, frustrated his milk supply had significantly dwindled.
