  It is some time in the future. A destructive war swept through the Northern Hemisphere, destroying the nations from North America, across Europe, and into Northern Asia, and, with them, the myth of White Supremacy. In the Southern Hemisphere, nations once dominated politically and economically by the former great powers in the north began to flex their muscles and assert their newly found freedom—among which is the former British colony of Australia. 
  Left bereft by the destruction of the Northern nations, as the flotsam and jetsam left behind when the tide goes out, are considerable numbers of foreign ex-patriot workers. Right-wing elements in the military and among politicians in Australia seized the chance to overthrow the pro-Western government and enslave the foreign workers, knowing that they were now helpless as a result of the destruction of their home countries. 
  Among these newly enslaved workers are two young British teachers—Mark (25) and Judy (23)—who were seized, stripped of everything, and sent as slaves to a slave breeding center. This is their story.

  ""No one should miss this beautiful legend."" —Tony Hillerman 
  Velma Wallis’s award-winning, bestselling tale about two elderly Native American women who must fend for themselves during a harsh Alaskan winter 
  Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along for many generations from mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska, this is the suspenseful, shocking, ultimately inspirational tale of two old women abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine. 
  Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute, they now must either survive on their own or die trying. In simple but vivid detail, Wallis depicts a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women, she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal, friendship, community, and forgiveness ""speaks straight to the heart with clarity, sweetness, and wisdom"" (Ursula K. Le Guin).
