What Came Down in the Smoke by Summer J. Hart

Suffused with the horror, humor, and magic of Wabanaki storytelling, What Came Down in the Smoke is, like a child left for dead in the snow who comes home with a beaver's tail, a book about survival. With vivid imagery and lyrical intensity, Hart weaves together fragments of the natural world with deeply personal reflections on grief, love, and the passage of time.
