  Consortium</a></p>\n<p><em>Moon of the Turning Leaves</em>&nbsp\;is Rice&
 rsquo\;s exhilarating return to the world first explored in the phenomenal
  breakout bestseller&nbsp\;<em>Moon of the Crusted Snow</em>: a brooding s
 tory of survival\, resilience\, Indigenous identity\, and rebirth.</p>\n<p
 >It&rsquo\;s been over a decade since a mysterious cataclysm caused a perm
 anent blackout that toppled infrastructure and thrust the world into anarc
 hy. 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\, rekin
 dling their Anishinaabe traditions in total isolation from the outside wor
 ld. As&nbsp\;resources in and around their new settlement are beginning to
  dry up\, and the elders warn that they cannot afford to stay indefinitely
 . 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 w
 hat kind of life&mdash\;and what dangers&mdash\;still exist in the lands t
 o the south.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Waubgeshig Rice is an auth
