Although they've grown used to complaining and letting others do for them, the two resolve not to wait passively for death but to fight against it. With trapping skills they haven't used for years and strengthened by their bond of friendship, the two women survive the winter to ultimately come face to face with the members of their tribe, none of whom has fared as well as they." Bird Girl: "The story delivers a message of overcoming hardship, of being true to yourself even when it is the most difficult thing to do." Price: 3.00 USD Add to Shopping Cart
