After reburying her in consecrated ground, Mary and her five-year-old brother, Ephraim, are set upon by villagers. They flee into the woods where the Abenaki Sagamore, Sky Bear, takes them prisoner and delivers them as servants to his lovely Bead Woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir journey leads them to the Great Mountain, Katahdin, in Maine where Ephraim disappears on a vision quest and returns \"lunatick,\" having apprenticed to the great God Pomola in the cave where he creates the storms. Ephraim's astonishing new abilities save the Abenakis from Iroquois attacks in the Canadian Catholic mission where they have taken refuge. But Sky Bear has been mortally wounded. At Bead Woman's urging, Mary allows herself to be seduced by her husband. The result is a baby boy whom Mary bestows on Bead Woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head of the mission, Father LeClairois, jealously views Ephraim as a rival to Jesus in the eyes of the Indians and plots his death, but, while Mary sails back to Salem, Ephraim wreaks a god's revenge on the priest who tried to kill him. Someone has hung a papooose on the back of the Virgin Mary in chapel, as if, perhaps, virginity might be less sainted than conception and birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE CAVE OF STORMS is the first in a series of novels entitled REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED that shifts away from the traditional American historical perspective of white male governance and wars. Instead, the series makes vivid the story of America through ethnically diverse women and children sharing activism against violence and on behalf of the indigent, the mentally afflicted, the politically dissident, and the otherwise historically disenfranchised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubythroat Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033349865712,"sku":"9781935420057","price":13.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935420057_p0.jpg?v=1763658561","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935420057","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
