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. 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. Two distinct teenage voices pull readers into the native world of northern Alaska in this beautifully crafted and compelling debut novel.

The small but splendid bead is appreciated worldwide; the variety of shapes and materials as endless as your imagination. Used by people from prehistoric to modern times, beads have been symbolic in religious ceremonies, used as currency for trade, and artists have used them to depict dreams, myths, stories, and in their expressions of everyday life. The tiny colorful glass seed beads used to make up these intricate illustrations tell a tale of an 18th century Bohemian blue glass trade bead that survives its journey into modern day Alaska. One of the fascinating things about old beads is that each one has a different history. Where a bead has been and who its previous owner was often remains a mystery.
