Karen Lee White holds the torch brightly as a new and powerful
voice, her style and sensibility encompassing the traditional and
the contemporary. In The Silence, with the Yukon as a canvas, she
engages in a deep empathy for characters, emergent Indigenous
identity, and discovery that employs dreams, spirits, songs, and
journals as foundations for dialogue between cultures. Leah Redsky
is a Salteaux/Salish woman living in Vancouver who struggles with
identity and the difficult intercultural dynamics of having a
non-Indigenous boyfriend and working for the government. Often
conflicted, at odds with her past and current life, things unravel
and she suffers a breakdown-the unexpected life twist that is the
key to coming to terms with her past. Through a diary, she
discovers something terrible happened, yet what that is is unclear
until she begins to have dream encounters with Tlingit/Tagish
spirits who she knew in the north when she lived a traditional life
on the land. Leah must find the strength to accept and integrate
past and present so she may move into the future. She will find her
power as an Indigenous woman, heal her spiritual and psychological
wounds through the resolution of previous traumas, and reconcile
her ability to communicate with those in the next world as she
comes to understand she has been chosen to be a Medicine
Woman/Elder/Cultural Leader. As an added bonus feature, the book
comes with an original music CD by the author/musician.
