Blessing's Bead


Blessing's Bead
by Debby Dahl Edwardson

As the story begins, Nutaaq and her older sister, Aaluk, are on a great journey, sailing from a small island off the coast of Alaska to the annual trade fair on the mainland.  Seventy years later, Nutaaq's great-granddaughter, Blessing, is on her own journey, running from the wreckage of her life in Anchorage to live in a remote village far above the Arctic Circle with a grandmother she barely remembers.  Blessing feels like an outsider among her own people until she finds a cobalt blue bead and her grandmother tells her stories from her Inupiaq past.  This page-turning look into the culture of the Inupiaq Eskimos is both a compelling and enriching tale.  It is an intriguing glimpse into another culture.
