It has been enriched and enlarged by James Houston through his novelistic skill and his insights into Nootkan life, a product of research and of several years visiting with the Nootkan tribes in the remote regions of Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. He has drawn 13 full-page illustrations to lend emphasis to the characters and settings. As in his earlier novels, he reveals with compassionate understanding, deep respect, and scrupulous authenticity an indigenous culture that is a treasure of our inheritance.”
