From the back cover: Now, from the award-winning author of Love Medicine, comes a vibrant tale of abandonment and sexual obsession, jealousy and unstinting love. On a spring morning in 1932, young Karl and Mary Adare arrive by boxcar in Argus, North Dakota, Orphaned in a most peculiar way, Karl and Mary look for refuge to their mother's sister Fritzie, who, with husband Pete, runs a butcher shop. So begins an exhilarating forty-year saga brimming with unforgettable characters: Ordinary Mary who causes a miracle. Seductive Karl, who lacks Mary's gift for survival. Sita, their lovely, disturbed, ambitious cousn. Wallace Pfef, a town leader bearing a lonely secret. Celestine James, a mixed-blood Chippewa, and her daughter, Dot. Theirs is a story grounded in the tenacity of relationships, the magic of natural events and the unending mystery of the human condition.
