When a young man's father dies, he turns to his sagacious grandfather for comfort. Together they sit underneath the family's cottonwood tree, and the grandfather shares his perspective on life, the perseverance it requires, and the pleasure and pain of the journey. Filled with dialogues, stories, and recollections, each section focuses on a portion of the prose poem "Keep Going" and provides commentary on the text.

Readers will draw comfort, knowledge, and strength from the grandfather's wise words--just as Marshall himself did.

Anyone seeking indigenous books about persevering through grief and healing after loss will appreciate the timeless teachings and wisdom of Keep Going. Perfect for fans of The Journey of Crazy Horse or other Native American books by author Joseph M. Marshall III, Keep Going ranks among his most inspirational books, offering a profoundly resonant voice and culturally therapeutic guidance for finding strength during life's most difficult journeys.
