by Sherri Mitchell, 256 pages, 5½x8½, softcover. Every word counts in this broad yet concise book, and you’ll want to savor it through the winter as you read it aloud, discuss with friends, then read it again. Grounded in the living wisdom of her own community, Penobscot activist, visionary and human rights lawyer Sherri Mitchell offers hope to those of us wrestling with who and how we are in this beautiful and hurting world. Mitchell never lectures or scolds, though she speaks with unflinching clarity. What she offers is a loving invitation to bring ourselves into harmony with the sacred instructions vibrating throughout the universe, and to gather our energy for the work that supports life. I recommend keeping several copies on hand because you’ll keep giving them away. -Sarah Oliver
