On a tiny island in Alaska, two men struggle to make sense of life.  One simply wants to feed his people.  The other just wants to go home.  But both of them are about to face a catastrophy that pales all other problems.  Can they help each other?

Maybe, if they weren't separated by a thousand years of history.

Perhaps even a millenium can be overcome, though, with enough persistence, guile . . . and faith.

Drawn from his experiences on an archaeological dig in Alaska, Koniag is author Arnold Ytreeide's second novel for adults, and his second inquiry into the interrelationships of time, space, faith.
