story behind

reader's guide

wayward tour

There are places that can remake you — slippery, gray places.  Places that hold their secrets in the fog and whisper them on the wind.  And if a floundering, trashy cocktail waitress finds herself drifting across the line between the ordinary world and this place, something fearsome and beautiful could happen.  Something could change.

Sweeping across two hundred and fifty years and into the Aleutian Islands of the Bering Sea, the story explores Aleut culture, taboos, mummies, famine, conquest, and survival.  It leaps forward to a lost woman, who more than any thing needs to understand the gray shades between heroism and evil, between freedom and bondage, between this place and the rest of her life.
