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 arrived by boxcar in Argus, North Dakota. Orphaned in a most peculiar way, Karl and Mary look for refugee in 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 cousin. Wallace Pfef, a town leader bearing a lonely secret. Celestine James, a mixed blood Chippewa and her daughter, Dot. Theirs a story grounded in the tenacity of relationships, the magic of natural events and the unending mystery of the human condition."
