One story, one song
by Richard Wagamese
"'In quiet tones and luminous language,' said the Winnipeg Free Press of his celebrated bestseller, One Native Life, "Wagamese shares his hurts and joys, inviting readers to find the ways in which they are joined to him and to consider how they might be joined to others."In this new book, Wagamese again invites readers to accompany him on his travels. This time, his focus is on stories: what they teach us, how they shape us and how they can radically change our lives. The tales that unfold in these pages are ancient and contemporary, cultural and spiritual, funny and sad. Whether he's gleaning understanding from a wolf track, celebrating love on a wild roller-coaster ride, meeting residential school survivors or discovering the universe in an eagle feather, Wagamese offers his observations with true generosity of spirit. As always, the land serves as his guide."
