About this ebook

In prehistoric Alaska, an Aleut girl, unwanted and abused, changes the destiny of her tribe
Gray Bird wanted only sons. His daughter, Kiin, would have been killed at birth to make way for a male heir if not for the tribal chief, Kayugh, who claimed the infant as a future wife for one of his two young sons. Sixteen years later, Kiin is caught between the two brothers: one to whom she is promised, the other whom she desires. But the evil spawned by her own family takes her far from her people to a place where savage cruelties, love, and fate will strengthen and change her, and lead her to her ultimate destiny.   My Sister the Moon is book two of the Ivory Carver Trilogy, which also includes Mother Earth Father Sky and Brother Wind.

Author

Sue Harrison

Sue Harrison grew up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and graduated summa cum laude from Lake Superior State University with a bachelor of arts degree in English language and literature. At age twenty-seven, inspired by the forest that surrounded her home, and the outdoor survival skills she had learned from her father and her husband, Harrison began researching the people who understood best how to live in a harsh environment: the North American native peoples. She studied six Native American languages and completed extensive research on culture, geography, archaeology, and anthropology during the nine years she spent writing her first novel, Mother Earth, Father Sky. An international bestseller and selected by the American Library Association as one of the Best Books for Young Adults in 1991, Mother Earth, Father Sky is the first novel in Harrison’s critically acclaimed Ivory Carver Trilogy, which includes My Sister the Moon and Brother Wind. She is the author of the Storyteller Trilogy, also set in prehistoric North America. Her novels have been translated into thirteen languages and published in more than twenty countries. Harrison lives with her family in Michigan.

    When I read a story that has me feeling one way or another toward a character it will drive me to turn the pages. This story had me feeling a wide range of feels towards the characters. It's worth reading.

    3/5
    Continuation of Harrison's prehistoric Alaska trilogy. In this one, an abused girl discovers strength and hidden talents as she becomes a woman, a wife, and a mother.This was not as compelling as 'Mother Earth Father Sky', the first entry. Part of it that is the inherent weakness of middle parts of trilogies, but part is that the main character, Kiin, is kind of the original hard-luck kid. Abused by her father (who wanted his first-born to be a son), married to the brother of the man she truly loves, kidnapped, raped -- is there anything this poor girl isn't going to be subjected to?The background of First Peoples cultures in the Aleutian Islands, remains fascinating and scrupulously researched.
