Title: Music of sacred lakes
Description: "Peter Sanskevicz doesn't belong. He doesn't want the sixth-generation family farm his great-great-grandfather unwittingly stole from its Odawa owners, and can't continue his jobs serving 'fudgies, ' tourists in Northern Michigan who seem more at home than he is. He can't take charge of things or do anything but make a mess. Then, Peter accidentally kills a girl. Seeing his life is at risk, his friend takes him to his uncle, a pipe carrier of the Odawa tribe, who tells him he must live by the shores of Lake Michigan until the lake speaks to him. Peter lives and loves and rages by the shores of the great lake, haunted by its rich beauty, by strange images and sounds that pursue him through his waking and sleeping hours, and by the spirit of the dead girl, who seems to be trying to help him. One day, he finally finds an inner silence. And then, he hears what the lake has to say to him."--Page 4 of cover.
