Description
Welcome to the crazy-real world of Hobbema.
These sixteen stories set on the Ermineskin Reserve are tough and sensitive and funny--stories about trust and belief; frustration and fighting back; and about all kinds of love.
Meet Silas Ermineskin, who tells the stories; his pal the incorrigible Frank Fencepost; Mad Etta, the 400-pound medicine lady who dispenses wisdom from her tree-trunk chair; and their friends, families, and foes.
