The second stunning novel from the acclaimed author of Wolf Hollow.
After graduating from Brown University in 1981 with a degree in English literature, Lauren Wolk spent a year as a writer with the Battered Women's Project of the St. Paul American Indian Center, and then worked as both an editor and an English teacher. Since 2007, she has been the Associate Director of the Cultural Center of Cape Cod. She is an award-winning poet and also a visual artist. Wolf Hollow is set in western Pennsylvania where her family roots run deep. Both of her parents were raised in that area, her mother on a farm and in a family that served as the inspiration for the novel.
A tense and moving adventure story, this book's real strength is in
the characters and the understated but overwhelming love that binds
solitary people, no matter what their blood links may be * Daily

Lyrical and heartrending . . . A tear-jerking yet ultimately
uplifting tale of establishing one's place in the world and

one you are born into. A stellar story full of heart, action, and
emotion * School Library Journal *
An intriguing tale of an orphan determined to find her roots --
