Set in northern Minnesota, this novel follows a trio of American Indian women from the 1970s to the present, as they cope with love, economic hardship, loss and the changing of family dynamics. The novel moves between past and present, the Native and non-Native, history and myth, and traditional and survival, as the people of Mozhay Point endure traumatic historical events and federal Indian policies, while looking ahead to future generations and the continuation of the Anishinaabe people.—Breana Roy
