Description:"Great spirit be a maduh. She feed us; we feeds dem. Round and round. Dat's de way. You helps dem, so you helps us, all-a-wanna." Nuna Chepi Shellfoot spoke in her strange, rhythmic dialect. She tucked a stray hair into a crown of black braids and turned her caramel-colored face toward the sun. It is the dawn of the 20th century on the "Eye-land of the Gods." The New York coastline no longer fumes with putrid fish oil factories, including the last one to close on Corycian (Core-seen) Island off the coast of Long Island. Here the Strand Hotel, the Believers' Campgrounds, St. Anthony's Convent, and the Captain's Guest House are new destinations for shoreless refugees seeking a connection beyond themselves to an ether sifting through the island atmosphere. When the world-weary newcomers meet the unworldly islanders, a storm of spirit "be wit' in you and wit' out you, don't ya know." Nuna Shellfoot puts her hope in her ancestors, the Runapewak, who wander Corycian in spirit. All together, "all-a-wanna," they will help Nuna care for the sacred land of this place. However Josiah Remie and Hector Wesley, as declared members of the northeast's Keyclose Clan, are out to rid the island of people like Nuna Shellfoot, her neighbor Ezra Goldsmith, and the nuns at St. Anthony's convent. Josiah's plan is "to lead all sinners off the island and bring the truth of the Believers marching through hell into the promised land to everyone left." Hansen Ratliss, town constable, and Burston Bakker, publisher of The Corycian Island Reader, aren't taking the anonymous threats and foolish pranks of Remie and Wesley lightly. But they are also caught up in the changing times, the Great War, an influenza epidemic, the Volstead Act, and the newly-arrived, entitled generation that now claims the island as theirs. To those who seek her counsel, Nuna advises: "Ya gots ta find dat Oonuh in you, de you in you only you know. Ya gots ta find dat Oonuh and lissens good." But with the "bazodies" acting out all around her, even Nuna loses her hearing sometimes. The first two decades of the 1900s are turbulent on Corycian Island , but as spirit reveals to those who seek it, this is a place of the Runapewak. It is a word which means "an idea of the Gods" in Algonquin, expressing the concept of being "all-a-wanna," all together.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
