- Summary:
- Until she was forty years old, Bessie Ashevak lived in igloos and tents, cooked with qulliqs, sewed her family's skin clothing and raised her children. Bessie was a midwife and routinely delivered babies in tents, igloos, on boats - wherever the family happened to be when the time came. Bessies' grand-niece, Violet, a high-school student who has just had her first baby, seeks advice on raising her new infant.
