(3) 4-6 In 1846, Josette--the daughter of an Ojibwe mother and French father--reluctantly abandons her studies after her mother dies and her family decides to move from Canada to Minnesota. Historical facts are seamlessly incorporated into Josette's story, which is presented as detailed journal entries. Author's notes give background on Métis (people of French and Native American descent) culture and explain Sommerdorf's inspiration. Glos.
