From Pulitzer Prize finalist Linda Hogan, Solar Storms tells the
moving, "luminous" (Publishers Weekly) story of Angela Jenson, a
troubled Native American girl coming of age in the foster system in
Oklahoma, who decides to reunite with her family.
At seventeen, Angela returns to the place where she was raised--a
stunning island town that lies at the border of Canada and
Minnesota--where she finds that an eager developer is planning a
hydroelectric dam that will leave sacred land flooded and abandoned.
Joining up with three other concerned residents, Angela fights the
project, reconnecting with her ancestral roots as she does so.
Harrowing, lyrical, and boldly incisive, Solar Storms is a powerful
examination of the clashes between cultures and traumatic repercussions
that have shaped American history.
