- Synopsis
- The author, adopted as an infant by a Caucasian father and half-Eskimo mother, makes a series of trips to Alaska after his adoptive mother's death. There he connects with her Eskimo relatives, from whom she was separated at the age of six. Chisholm reconstructs the history of his adoptive mother's family in a series of fictional sketches based on stories he was told by the surviving members. This reconstruction gives him a new perspective on his mother's life and his own.
