| Karana
jumps overboard when when she sees her brother has been left behind. Her
island village has decided to board the white man's ship to a safer life
at the missions. We live for years with Karana as she befriends a wild
dog, avoids Aleut hunters, befriends one female Aleut who leaves. She conquers
her fears of the sea and gains strengths she didn't know women could have
and also discovers some sensitivities she could not overcome. If you like
this book, there's another - Zia - that connects Karana back to her. |
