Requests:  1 Summary:  "From the midcentury metropolis of Chicago to the windswept ancestral lands of the Dakhóta people to the bleak and brutal Indian boarding schools, A Council of Dolls is the tale of three extraordinary women, told in part through the stories of the dolls they carried. Sissy, born 1961: Sissy's relationship with her beautiful and volatile mother is difficult -- even dangerous -- but her life is also filled with lovely things, including a new Christmas present: a doll called Ethel. Ethel whispers advice and kindness in Sissy's ear, and in one especially terrifying moment, maybe even saves Sissy's life. Lillian, born 1925: Raised in her tribe's reservation in a time of terrible change, Lillian clings to her sister Blanche and her doll, Mae. When the sisters are forced to attend an Indian boarding school far from their home, Blanche refuses to be cowed by the school's abusive nuns. But when tragedy strikes the sisters, Mae finds her way to defend the girls. Cora, born 1888: Born just after the genocidal "Indian Wars," Cora still isn't afraid of the white men who take her away to be "civilized." When teachers burn her beloved buckskin doll Winona, Cora discovers that the spirit of Winona may not be entirely lost. A modern masterpiece, A Council of Dolls is gorgeous, quietly devastating, and ultimately hopeful. With stunning prose, Mona Susan Power weaves a spell of love and healing that comes alive on the page" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Power Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Power Checked out 05/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Power Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Power missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Power Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Power Checked out 05/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books Power Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Power Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Power Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Power Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
