Winter is taking hold and the long arctic night is beginning. A single engine plane crashes in the Alaska wilderness. Its three passengers survive--the plane's pilot, C. \"Killer\" Armstrong Wingate; Nuna Cunningham, seventeen-years-old, pregnant, and already a widow; and Rolland \"Rembrandt\" Martin, an ambitious artist from Manhattan. \u003cbr\u003eRolland is the only one hurt. When he awakes, he is on a bearskin rug, wolf furs covering his body, and Nuna, granddaughter of a Yup'ik shaman, is chanting unfamiliar hymns into his ear. An ivory amulet rests on his chest. \u003cbr\u003eSixty years later, the Phillips Museum is preparing a retrospective exhibit to celebrate Rolland Martin's art. He hires Connie Johnson, a young single mother, to ghostwrite an autobiographical sketch for the museum's catalog. \u003cbr\u003eNuna is central to Rolland's story. Her mystical beliefs and shamanistic skills lead him into worlds he did not know existed. And only after he belatedly infuses his art with her universe does he achieve eminence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJerome Komisar, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Believer, \u003c\/i\u003e taught economics at the City College of New York, Hamilton College, and SUNY-Binghamton, before entering higher education administration.
