The Turtle's Beating Heart: One Family's Story of Lenape Survival"Grandchildren meet their grandparents at the end," Denise Low says, "as tragic figures. We remember their decline and deaths. . . . The story we see as grandchildren is like a garden covered by snow, just outlines visible." Low brings to light deeply held secrets of Native ancestry as she recovers the life story of her Kansas grandfather, Frank Bruner (1889 1963).

"Grandchildren meet their grandparents at the end," Denise Low says, "as tragic figures. We remember their decline and deaths. . . . The story we see as grandchildren is like a garden covered by snow, just outlines visible." Low brings to light deeply held secrets of Native ancestry as she recovers the life story of her Kansas grandfather, Frank Bruner (1889-1963). She remembers her childhood in Kansas, where her grandparents remained at a distance, personally and physically, from their grandchildren, despite living only a few miles away. As an adult, she comes to understand her grandfather's Delaware (Lenape) legacy of persecution and heroic survival in the southern plains of the early 1900s, where the Ku Klux Klan attacked Native people along with other ethnic minorities. As a result of such experiences, the Bruner family fled to Kansas City and suppressed their non-European ancestry as completely as possible. As Low unravels this hidden family history of the Lenape diaspora, she discovers the lasting impact of trauma and substance abuse, the deep sense of loss and shame related to suppressed family emotions, and the power of collective memory. Low traveled extensively around Kansas, tracking family history until she understood her grandfather's political activism and his healing heritage of connections to the land. In this moving exploration of her grandfather's life, the former poet laureate of Kansas evokes the beauty of the Flint Hills grasslands, the hardships her grandfather endured, and the continued discovery of his teachings.Binding Type: Hardcover

Works wonders for my hormonal acne!
Color: Collagen, Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have had the worst hormonal acne since turning 30, but this has made my pores shrink and cleared up my acne! I even went as far as not ordering it for a few weeks, and my skin looks rough again. I’m writing this review as I just added it to my cart for the second time. I do not want to go without it again. It’s super lightweight. It absorbs beautifully, and my skin glows afterwards. I’ve even been able to go without makeup, because of it and I want to cry tears of joy! It is so hydrating, but doesn’t leave a greasy residue like other products I have tried. Definitely worth the money!!

Great for smoother skin and refined pores
Color: Collagen, Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this product consistently and I’m really impressed with the results. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on the skin. My pores look more refined, and my skin feels smoother and more hydrated. It works well under makeup and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while. Definitely a great addition to a skincare routine, especially if you’re looking to improve skin texture and overall appearance.
