 rd to stay indefinitely.</p>\n<p>Evan and his fifteen-year-old daughter\,

 p to their traditional home on the north shore of Lake Huron&mdash\;to see
 k new beginnings and discover what kind of life&mdash\;and what dangers&md
 ash\;still exist in the lands to the south.</p>\n<p><em>Moon of the Turnin
