What Sky Woman Knew

In Sam Grant's sixth adventure, an old Ojibwe basket maker disappears from his deep-woods Wisconsin home ... disappears into a snow storm of epic scale. Will the spirits help find him? Or did they take him away? An aging shaman, Grant finally accepts his spiritual calling. But shaken by the pandemic and its aftermath, Grant has lost the one thing that has always sustained him, his love for the natural world. Hardly able to see or walk, what can he do but seek renewal in an ancient Ojibwe legend? To discover what happened to the basket maker, Grant must first find the solution to a troubling question: Sky Woman brought her children into this world. It was a world full of pathogens, a world imperiled by storms, floods, eruptions, glaciers and natural disasters of every sort. It was a world which, in time, destroys every single species that seeks to make a home here. Why did she choose to bring her children - to bring us - to this dangerous place? What did Sky Woman know?
