Based on a tragic history and presenting a hopeful vision for the future, Last Standing Woman is a powerful and poignant first novel tracing the lives of seven generations of Anishinaabe (Ojibwe/Chippewa).
Beginning in the 1860s, the story chronicles a Native American Indian reservation and its people’s struggle to restore their culture. Battling alcoholism, sexual abuse, and fighting to regain their land, the characters are living heroes full of hope and vision.
