Sexiness, government assimulation attempts, extended family child-rearing,
laundry day, whale watching, a child coping with the death of his mother,
and learning how to be a parent are some of the short stories of Coast
Salish life.

Lee Maracle, a well-known First Nations author, weaves her
magic once more in this small rich volume that will keep you turning
pages until you close the cover with a sense of satisfaction. One
story haunts you and is followed by another, totally different and
just as appealing.
