The Search for Soaring Hawk

Son of an Indian brave and a white captive, Soaring Hawk is raised in the native customs. As he grows into manhood, he discovers his desire for the love of men. Knowing the fate of those of ‘two spirits’ within his tribe, he leaves the Indian village, disguises his heritage, and enters the white man’s world as Samuel Hawkins. He soon discovers life is difficult for a man who prefers men. While he finds companionship, and forms bonds with many of the men he meets, he is unable to find a relationship which satisfies his deepest need. He also discovers much of what is in the world outside his village conflicts with the values of his native upbringing. He embarks on an odyssey which takes him across the continent and into the arms and beds of many lovers. As he travels, he comes to realize love has many forms. But the one he seeks most continually eludes him. Where will his odyssey lead him? Will he ever come to the end of his search for Soaring Hawk?

“How long will you be staying with us, Samuel?” she inquired as she closed the ledger and replaced it under the desk.

“I’m not sure,” he replied. “I’m looking for work. If I work at the mill or the trading post, I understand they provide you with a place to stay.”

“They do,” Mary said, in a tone that conveyed she didn’t think much of the lodging provided by these employers. “Well, you’re welcome here for as long as you care to stay. The room is fifty cents a day. With all three meals, it’s a dollar-and-a-half. With just breakfast and supper, the charge is one dollar. I provide you with warm water and towels morning and night, and the facility is out back, just down that hall,” she said, indicating the hallway beyond the stairs.

“That’s fine,” Sam said. “Does Miss Martha do the cooking?” he asked to be polite.
