Back Cover text:

Susan Power writes with the passion, tenderness, and grace to knock down walls and expose what’s been unseen. Sacred Wilderness is a feast, full of fierce love, unexpected humor, and wisdom both timely and timeless. - Rachel Kadish, author of From a Sealed Room and Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story

Power’s characters laugh, shout, whisper, and speak to readers long after the page has been turned, the book has been closed, the library door has been shut. With organic structure reminiscent of oral tradition and brilliant form evocative of the finest literary craft, Power’s stories unveil all that is meaningful and memorable in our shared human experience. - Ernestine Hayes, author of Blonde Indian: An Alaska Native Memoir

Set in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the story moves across time and space with a cast of loveable characters such as Ojibwe elder Gladys Swan and her wise cat Zhigaag. They’ve all come together in order to heal Candace Jensen, yet Sacred Wilderness, the message, heals us all. A triumph! - Leanna Howe, author of Shell Shaker

Every new book by Susan Power is cause for celebration. This vibrant work is no exception. Her vision is intact: vivid, telling, honest, and transcendent. Power is a treasure and a true artist. - Luis Alberto Urrea, award-winning author of Queen of America, Into the Beautiful North, and The Hummingbird’s Daughter
