Description
The Silence A Novel by Karen Lee White explores the complexities of identity and cultural heritage through the story of Leah Redsky, a Salteaux/Salish woman navigating her past and present. As she struggles to reconcile her traditional upbringing with her modern life, Leah embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes her to the spirit world. Through a diary and dream encounters with Tlingit/Tagish spirits, Leah uncovers a painful truth about her past and must find the strength to heal and move forward. This powerful novel is a testament to the resilience of Indigenous women and their ability to communicate with the next world. A unique blend of traditional and contemporary storytelling, The Silence features an original music CD by the author/musician, adding another layer of depth to this thought-provoking narrative.
