Spanning the latter half of the nineteenth century, this coming-of-age novel unfolds in the form of a historians notebook. Protagonist and narrator Millie Langlie (daughter of a SKlallam maiden and a Norwegian mariner) is an adventurous girl with a curious mind. Guided by the gift of a pair of silver fish earrings, she unearths an anomalous Indian-on-Indian massacre and confronts her mother's secret love affair. Journeying from the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Port Townsend and back again, Millie discovers how knowledge of the past can teach us to love, forgive, and forge a new path.
