Book Description
The Captain hates his bloody job hates whaling. Yet, to catch enough fish to retire, he puts his faith in an all-conquering He-God, consequently at the cost of his heart: in what would seem a case of cosmic vengeance against him, his beloved young daughter is stolen by the sea, from which he has stolen so much life. The Captain's mystical journey to reconnect with his daughter (and the earth) begins when his crew of walrus hunters leaves him for dead on a remote Alaskan island. Here, the god most high is a she, and the release of tears is said to unlock immortal strength. But can the Captain, a faithless man, reap the benefits of such beliefs, and save the island its women, its walrus from his crew? Set during a time of war and oil (the Civil War and whale oil), The Walrus-Man travels to a strange land of Eskimo egg-men and tattoo-tusked women, where ambiguity thrives and absolutes have no place. Far (but not too far) from the modern world, one may find that wars and global warming come from something more fundamental than oil: an imbalance between the Male and Female forces of the soul.

Book Description
Now in one volume, the sweeping Native American trilogy set at the dawn of human civilization in Alaska, from an international-bestselling author. Following the lives of three incredible Aleut women in prehistoric Alaska, the Ivory Carver Trilogy has been hailed as “more successful than Clan of the Cave Bear” by the Washington Post Book World and “moving and credible” by the New York Times Book Review. Now, experience all three insightful and touching novels in this one epic volume. Mother Earth Father Sky: After her tribe is slaughtered, a young woman, Chagak, is left alone to care for her infant brother. With nothing left to lose, she sets out on a dangerous quest for survival—and revenge—among the icy waters, vicious enemies, and frozen tundra of Alaska. My Sister the Moon: Kiin has been betrothed to the son of the tribal chief since birth, but her heart belongs to his brother. When she is suddenly taken from her people, hardships, love, and chance will change Kiin—and ultimately lead her to a new destiny. Brother Wind: Finally content with her hard-won life, Kiin is devastated when she’s thrust back into the nightmares of her past. Across the land, Kukutux, the wife of a Whale Hunter, faces starvation and hostility when she finds herself widowed. As their paths converge, the two women must find the strength in their hearts to withstand the cruelties of man, nature, and fate. Filled with impeccable research and extraordinary characters, the Ivory Carver Trilogy is an unforgettable, must-read saga of family, love, survival, and history.
