Title: A Song Over Miskwaa Rapids: A Novel Author: Linda Legarde Grover Narrator: Lanecia Edmonds Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 47 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: When a rock is dislodged from its slope by mischievous ancestors, the past rises to meet the present, and Half-Dime Hill gives up a gruesome secret it has kept for half a century. Some people of Mozhay Point have theories about what happened; others know—and the discovery stirs memories long buried, reviving a terrible story yet to be told. Returning to the fictional Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota she deftly mapped in her award-winning books, Linda LeGarde Grover reveals traumas old and new as Margie Robineau, in the midst of a fight to keep her family's land, uncovers events connected to a long-ago escape plan across the Canadian border, and the burial of not one crime but two. While Margie is piecing the facts together, Dale Ann is confronted by her own secrets and the truth that the long ago and the now, the vital and the departed are all indelibly linked. As the past returns to haunt those involved, Margie prepares her statement for the tribal government, defending her family's land from a casino development and sorting the truths of Half-Dime Hill from the facts that remain there. Throughout the narrative, a chorus of spirit women gather to reminisce, reflect, and speculate, spinning the threads of family, myth, history, and humor. Grover weaves together an intimate and complex novel of a place and its people.
