\nAbout Moon of the Turning Leaves:
\nTwelve years after the lights go out . . .
An epic jour
ney to a forgotten homeland
The hotly anticipated sequel to the bests
elling novel \;Moon of the Crusted Snow.
It&rsquo\;s bee
n over a decade since a mysterious \;cataclysm \;caused a permanen
t blackout that toppled infrastructure and thrust the world into anarchy.
Evan Whitesky \;led his community in remote northern \;Ontario off
the rez and into the bush\, where they&rsquo\;ve been living off the land
\, rekindling their \;Anishinaabe traditions in total isolation from t
he outside world.
As new generations are born\, and others come of age in the world after everything\, \;Evan&rsquo\;s people are in som e ways stronger than ever. But resources in and around their new settlemen t are beginning to dry up\, and the elders warn that \;they cannot aff ord to stay indefinitely.
\nEvan and his fifteen-year-old daughter\, Nangohns\, are elected to lead a small scouting party on a months-long tr ip to their traditional \;home \;on the north shore of Lake Huron& mdash\;to seek new beginnings\, and discover what kind of life&mdash\;and what dangers&mdash\;still exist in the lands to the south.
\nMoon of the Turn ing Leaves \;is Waubgeshig Rice&rsquo\;s exhilarating return to the world first explored in the phenomenal breakout bestseller \;Moon of the Crusted \;Snow: a brooding story of survival\, resilience\, Indigenous identity\, and rebirth.
