Grandma's Rainbow

 Grandma's Rainbow

Was playing with my grand daughter, Olivia, a few days ago. She's two years old. She likes to look at my face and often asks, "What's that, Grandma?" 
This time instead of asking a question she pointed at my face and said, "Grandma's rainbow." 
I wondered what she meant. 
"Grandma's rainbow?" I said to my daughter, Sonya.
"Yes, Mom," she answered, "she means your wrinkles." :) Beautiful!

  It began with a dream. "Come follow me." Gheeju, her Mi’kmaq grandmother, urged. Maggie didn't realize that to follow would mean plunging into uncharted wilderness beginning with the sighting of a phantom ship. 

It became a voyage of daring which taxed her endurance as well as her soul. Captivity, honor, ancient courtship rituals, and a new spirituality root her in a culture, Gheeju had held dear, but it is more than Gheeju had taught, much more. 

Maggie captured by Abtatuk , a Mi’kmaq, finds her life turned upside down as she experiences the Mi’kmaq way of life; their legends, the Little People, the neighbouring Penobscot. 

Time and perils change her relationship to Abtatuk. Will Maggie find her way back home and if she does, will she want to return?
