SectionSection DescriptionPage Number
Chapter 1Jamie and Awasin The month of June was growing old.
It had been a year since Jamie Macnair left Toronto, the city of his birth, to take up a new life in the subarctic forests of northern Canada.
Beside the shores of Macnair Lake the tamaracks were greening now after the winter's blackness.
Out on the lake great loons cried shrilly.
As Jamie squatted in front of the log cabin, helping his uncle bale up the winter's catch of furs, he tried to remember how he had felt on that day, a year past, when he climbed out of the train at the lonely frontier town called The Pas to meet his uncle.
