 de since a mysterious cataclysm caused a permanent blackout that toppled i

 ey&rsquo\;ve been living off the land\, rekindling their Anishinaabe tradi
 tions in total isolation from the outside world.</p>\n<p>As new generation
 s are born\, and others come of age in the world after everything\, Evan&r
 squo\;s people are in some ways stronger than ever. But resources in and a
 round their new settlement are beginning to dry up\, and the elders warn t
 hat they cannot afford to stay indefinitely.</p>\n<p>Evan and his fifteen-
 year-old daughter\, Nangohns\, are elected to lead a small scouting party 
 on a months-long trip 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.</p>\n<p>Mo
 on of the Turning Leaves is Rice&rsquo\;s exhilarating return to the world
