"A Council of Dolls is the moving and unforgettable new novel from PEN Award-winning Sioux author Mona Susan Powers, spanning four generations of Yanktonai Dakota women from the 19th century to the present day"--
Inspired by the lore of her Sioux heritage, this critically-acclaimed novel from Susan Power weaves the stories of the old and the young, of broken families, romantic rivals, men and women in love and at war. Revealing the harsh price of unfulfilled longings and the healing power of mystery and hope, "The Grass Dancer" takes readers on a journey through past and present-in a tale as resonant and haunting as an ancestor's memory, and as promising as a child's dream.
