CCA Book Discussion - Two Old Women by Velma Wallis

Our book discussion for Wednesday, February 15 will be Two Old Women by Velma Wallis 

Zoom link and discussion questions will be sent on Monday, February 13.

From the Amazon website:   Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along from mother to daughter for many generations on the upper Yukon River in Alaska, this is the tragic and shocking story--with a surprise ending--of two elderly women abandoned by a migrating tribe that faces starvation brought on by unusually harsh Arctic weather and a shortage of fish and game. This story of survival is told with suspense by Velma Wallis, whose subject matter challenges the taboos of her past. Yet, her themes are modern--empowerment of women, the graying of America, growing interest in Native American ways.
