Description
Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson shines new light on the crucial fault lines of the time, war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, and race, in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for all.
Description
Growing up on Beaver Island, Grand-pr̈e told Norvia stories, stories about her ancestor Migizi, about Biboonke-o-nini the Wintermaker, about the Crane Clan and the Reindeer Clan. He sang her songs in the old language, and her grandmothers taught her to make story quilts and maple candy. On the island, Norvia was proud of her Ojibwe heritage. Things are different in the city. Here, Norvia₂s mother forces her to pretend she₂s not Native at all, even to Mr. Ward, Ma₂s new husband, and to Vernon, Norvia₂s irritating new stepbrother. In fact, there are a lot of changes in the city: ten-cent movies, gleaming soda shops, speedy automobiles, ninth grade. It₂s dizzying for a girl who grew up on the forested shores of Lake Michigan. Despite the move and the looming threat of world war, Norvia and her siblings, all five of them, are determined to make 1914 their best year ever. Norvia is certain that her future depends upon it⁵ and upon her discretion. But how can she have the best year ever if she has to hide who she is?
