There, a handsome young Siberian wearing a string of cobalt blue beads watches Aaluk \"the way a wolf watches a caribou, never resting.\" Soon his actions―and other events more horrible than Nutaaq could ever imagine―threaten to shatter her I~nupiaq world. Seventy years later, Nutaaq's greatgranddaughter, Blessing, is on her own journey, running from the wreckage of her life in Anchorage to live in a remote Arctic village with a grandmother she barely remembers. In her new home, unfriendly girls whisper in a language she can't understand, and Blessing feels like an outsider among her own people. Until she finds a cobalt blue bead―Nutaaq's bead―in her grandmother's sewing tin. The events this discovery triggers reveal the power of family and heritage to heal, despite seemingly insurmountable odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo distinct teenage voices pull readers into the native world of northern Alaska in this beautifully crafted and compelling debut novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43794631327818,"sku":"6849ap","price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6849ap.jpg?v=1783561863","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/blessings-bead-by-debby-dahl-edwardson","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
