Bookroo's summary
As Kaya's village prepares for the Spirit Dances, an injured stranger arrives, silent and alone. Only Kaya's dog, Tatlo, connects with her. Who is this mysterious woman, and what does her presence mean for the village? Kaya must unravel the stranger's secrets, risking her bond with Tatlo and the safety of her people. In her quest, Kaya discovers more than just answers—she finds courage and insight within herself. Will she solve the mystery before it's too late?
From the publisher
Kaya’s village is preparing for the powerful winter Spirit Dances when an injured stranger arrives. The young woman doesn’t speak, and no one can reach her but Kaya’s beloved dog, Tatlo. Who is the stranger, and why is she so silent and alone? Will she bring harm to the village–or take Tatlo away from Kaya? Kaya searches for clues about the woman– but she must look deep inside her own heart to truly understand her. When she does, Kaya not only solves the mystery but takes a brave step toward growing up.
