Author Event: Barnes & Noble Bay Plaza The Bronx, Myrtle Brooks, The Geyser Girl of Yellowstone Park

BRONX, N.Y. - July 5, 2016 - PRLog -- On Wednesday, July 20th, at 1:00 PM, Local Brooklyn author Myrtle Brooks will host a signing and reading event for her novel, The Geyser Girl of Yellowstone Park, at Barnes & Noble, Bay Plaza, the Bronx.

The story, a fable on man's edification through nature's examples, begins during the era of the First U.S. Cavalry in Fort Yellowstone, and the founding of the National Park Service 100 years ago in 1916.

At the turn of the twentieth century, an infant of mysterious origin is adopted by Old Faithful geyser and by a mother buffalo named Bearer of Song. Beloved to all the park, Flower of the Steam Basin grows up with their stories, proverbial sayings and teachings: in a land where the animals, winds and geysers speak their own languages.

Having met a child her age and her parents, trust ripens between families, and Flower of the Steam Basin gains a closely protective circle of human friends. At nine, she is brought face-to-face with Retired Lieutenant Ned Halpen of the Yellowstone Cavalry, whose exemplary career embodied the role of protector of Yellowstone's spiritual and physical heritage.

In the wake of Lt. Halpen's passing, her sacred vow to continue his legacy brings both reward and mortal danger. And when the circle is breached, Flower of the Steam Basin and her father are forced to choose between her well-being and the performance of her sworn duties.

This is her story as seen through the eyes of Yellowstone.
