Water Mask (The Alaska Literary Series)

Monica Devine

4.9/5 (13830 ratings)

Description:We all hold up a mirror to make sense of our past, to question the trajectory of our present, to become aware of the dreams in our future. In Water Mask, Monica Devine’s stories explore issues of the human heart: fear, spiritual longing, ecstasy, memory, perception, and grief. As an itinerant therapist who traveled to villages throughout Alaska, she examines the misunderstandings, the reinterpretations, the lessons learned when immersed in a culture that is not your own. She skis mountain trails with her baby on her back, navigates sea ice with Beaufort Sea whalers, and whirls two thousand feet above tundra in dicey weather with a rookie bush pilot. She negotiates the death of her father and the near-loss of her family’s cabin on the shape-shifting Copper River. Her journey is exhilarating—but not without reminders of the folly of romanticizing a northern landscape that both rejects and beguiles. Reflections on family, place, and Native culture are woven into a seductive tapestry that knits together a life well lived and loved.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
