The novel explores themes of resilience, tradition, and the importance of community in the face of crisis.

Through the eyes of Evan Whitesky, a young father, the story unfolds, portraying the challenges and the strength of the Anishinaabe people.

Rice weaves together elements of post-apocalyptic fiction with Anishinaabe storytelling, creating a powerful narrative of survival and cultural identity.

As the outside world crumbles, the community must look inward and to their traditions to find a way forward.
