TWO OLD WOMEN - VELMA WALLIS KARTONIERT (TB)

"No one should miss this beautiful legend." --Tony Hillerman Velma Wallis's award-winning 
bestselling tale about two elderly Native American women who must fend for themselves during a
harsh Alaskan winter Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along for many generations
from mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska  this is the suspenseful 
shocking  ultimately inspirational tale of two old women abandoned by their tribe during a
brutal winter famine. Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute  they
now must either survive on their own or die trying. In simple but vivid detail  Wallis depicts
a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women
she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal  friendship 
community  and forgiveness "speaks straight to the heart with clarity  sweetness  and wisdom"
(Ursula K. Le Guin).
