Mi’kmaq Song

Description

“Come follow me.” Gheeju, her Mi’kmaq grandmother, urges. Maggie doesn’t realize that following will immerse her in a world of uncharted wilderness. The sighting of a phantom ship catapults her into an adventure which becomes a voyage of daring and new experiences. Captivity, courtship rituals, native spirituality root her in a culture, Gheeju had held dear, but it is more than Gheeju had taught, much more. Maggie captured by Abtatuk, a Mi’kmaq, finds her world turned upside down as she experiences the way natives lived in the early 1600’s. Time and trial change her relationship with Abtatuk as she learns to appreciate his people and the way they live. Will Maggie find her way back home and if she does, will she want to return?
