"Lee's Maracle's powerful new novel reinforces her stature as one of the most important First Nations writers in North America. [Aboriginal peoples] The novel incorporates an innovative structure based on Salish Nation storytelling to depict the transformation of Marilyn, a modern-day Native woman who is alienated from her culture, family and self. By listening to the wind and the natural world, Marilyn begins to heal the deep-rooted, inherited hurt that has numbed her life-force. This is a moving and important work about First Nations people in the modern world, and the importance of courage, truth and reconciliation."--Pub. website.
