The Ground Mist Girl-At'eed Ahi Nahasdzaan

Veaskasbah-Misti embarks on her seventh-grade journey, transitioning to Gilbert, Arizona, where a foster family, the Womack, will care for her. Despite her challenges in the boarding school, she shared moments of joy with her younger sister, Jeaskasbah.

Vesbah's first glimpse of Disneyland and the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, which she knows as the Wide Saltwater, profoundly shifts her perspective, revealing the Yellow World as an open book waiting to be explored.

With the gentle guidance of a compassionate librarian, Veaskasbah develops a deep affinity for literature, finding solace and belonging within its pages.

Veaskasbah dreams of undergoing the Kinaalda ceremony at White Buffalo Rock, symbolizing her passage into womanhood. Throughout her journey, her bond with her mother, Hasbah, thrives. Veaskasbah earns the honorary title of At’eed Ahi Nahasdzaan, translating it to, "the Ground Mist Girl."

However, during her sophomore year, Vesbah-Misti encounters adversity when her foster father, Brett, oversteps boundaries one Halloween night.

Determined to reclaim her sense of security and identity, Misti plans her escape and returns to T’sii'ya’kin, Holbrook Residential Hall, to attend high school. There, she reunites with her beloved friends, Ginger and Agnes Chii, within the supportive environment of the Indigenous-focused T'sii'ya'kin Residential Hall.

As Misti rebuilds her connection and adjusts to her new circumstances, she encounters Kurtis Brown, a remarkable individual known for his prowess as a football player and cowboy, whose influence leaves an enduring imprint on her journey.
