Beschreibung:
JOANNE B. MULCAHY is a folklorist and an anthropologist. She teaches through the Gender Studies Program and the Northwest Writing Institute at Lewis & Clark College.
When Joanne B. Mulcahy first helped Mary Peterson -- a respected elder of the Akhiok community -- find a safe home away from the violence and alcoholism that had altered village life, she never imagined that they would meet again five years later and begin more than twelve years of interviews, letters, and visits that would transform the lives of both women.
