This magnificent novel by one of America's finest writers is the epic of one man's remarkable journey, set in 19th-century America against the background of a vanishing people and a rich way of life.
At the age of 12, under the Wind moon, Will is given a horse, a key, and a map, and sent alone into the Indian Nation to run a trading post as a bound boy. It is during this time that he grows into a man, learning, as he does, of the raw power it takes to create a life, to find a home. In a card game with a white Indian named Featherstone, Will wins - for a brief moment - a mysterious girl named Claire, and his passion and desire for her spans this novel.
As Will's destiny intertwines with the fate of the Cherokee Indians - including a Cherokee chief named Bear - he learns how to fight and survive in the face of both nature and man. Eventually, under the Corn Tassel Moon, Will begins the fight against Washington to preserve the Cherokee's homeland and culture. And he will come to know the truth behind his belief that "only desire trumps time".
Brilliantly imagined, written with great power and beauty by a master of American fiction, Thirteen Moons is a stunning novel about a man's passion for a woman, and how loss, longing, and love can shape a man's destiny over the many moons of a life.

Critic reviews
"A bountiful literary panorama....The history that Frazier hauntingly unwinds through Will is as melodic as it is melancholy, but the sublime love story is the narrative's true heart." (Publishers Weekly)

What did you love best about Thirteen Moons?
The bitter sweet melancholy of the passing of a way of life and time was presented in a splendid wistful manner. The author brought life to each scene and I caught myself remembering the sights and smells he described so wonderfully. Will faced all the fears of his life and grew stronger through each of them.Who was your favorite character and why?
I enjoyed Bear, who faced life moment to moment, grasping and savoring whatever God places before us with each step. Truly living in the present is a gift.Have you listened to any of Will Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Patton could make the reading of a shopping list sound wonderful. His soft approach and mellow tones help bring this book to life with all the sight, sounds and smells the author presents for our enjoyment. I thoroughly enjoy Patton's style.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
