With time, she earns her father’s trust enough to be given a dogsled of her own. Gradually, Margaret relearns the words and ways of her people. Her only comfort is in the books she learned to read at school. She can’t even stomach her mother’s food. Now ten years old, she has forgotten her language and the skills to hunt and fish. Margaret’s years at school have changed her.
This strange, skinny child, with her hair cropped short, can’t be her daughter.
Now she has returned and can barely contain her excitement as she rushes towards her waiting family-but her mother stands still as a stone. Two years ago, Margaret left her Arctic home for the outsiders’ school. Margaret can’t wait to see her family, but her homecoming is not what she expected.
