had already made up her mind to make the voyage beyond the islands of Santa
Cruz and Santa Rosa, out to the far island -- the Island of the Blue Dolphins
-- where no one ever went. Then Zia and her brother found the boat cast
upon the beach. It would take them, with the help of God and prayers, to
Mukat, Coyote and the Virgin as well as to the island where Karana, their
aunt, had been left behind nearly 18 years before. But determined as Zia
was to rescue Karana from her long years of isolation, she sometimes wondered
if Karana would want to live at the Mission, for her aunt must yearn for
the place where her people had gone. Zia wondered because some days she
liked living at the mission and there were days when she longed for the
freedom of her village in the mountains far from the sea and the white
men who told them what they could and could not do. |
