"Deeply ecological, original, and spellbinding." ―Booklist, starred review
Raised in a remote seaside village, Thomas Witka Just marries Ruth, his beloved since infancy. But an ill-fated decision to fight in Vietnam changes his life forever: cut off from his Native American community, he fathers a child with another woman.

In the end, he reconciles his two existences, only to see tragedy befall the son he left behind.
