16-year-old Omishto, one of only 30 Taiga Indians remaining, joins with her friend, Ama, a reclusive, strong Taiga woman who is considerably older. After a hurricane Ama tracks and kills a panther; Omishto follows along. Of course, she is tried by the federal game wardens for killing the endangered cat. But more importantlyk, she is tried by the tribal elders for disobeying tribal law in killing the sacred symbol of the Panther Clan without their permission, and the appropriate ceremonies.

The book is full of mysticism. The language is beautiful and graceful.

But I was left with many questions.

Although it slowed down my reading, there was lots of beautifully written imagery and metaphors.

It's all too vivid and real to review right now. Maybe a few days down the line I'll come down and try to write a real response. For now, I'll just say that this novel touched my heart in ways that other novels have not. I know this a novel is great when something inside me is changed, this novel changed something inside me.
