Anooka's lack of interest in the activities deemed appropriate for female members of the Salmon Clan singles her out as rebellious and willful. As she learns more about her mother, who abandoned the clan long ago, Anooka must decide whether or not to follow her mother's path. Believable characters and a well-developed sense of place bring to life this story set in prehistoric times.
