A Voice From Under The Ice

“We are the Foundlings, cultivators of all that sprout from the place of origin. We scatter in many places. This is just one. We are not perpetual beings; only the force of regeneration, renewal.”
“We do not know the shape of this unfolding, only the power that exists within, the power to chart its own course. The seed sprouts when ready and that time nears. All things begin with the seed, this seed, the girl child rooted in mountains of ice, the one who cannot see her wings that she might fly…”
Frozen in ice and time, a life energy awakens that cannot be denied. They are the Foundlings.
Could they be the link to discovering the origins of humankind on Earth?
Follow Inuit archaeologist, Chulyin Nakasuk, as she delves into the mystery of their ancient power; one that promises to restore hope in both herself and the faltering course of humanity.
Reviews for 77° North
“The language used throughout made this a compelling and beautiful read…There were so many layers to this and the mystery was what will be ever-lasting for me. It’s insights into Inuit culture, the history we try to bury in the name and excuse of progress, and money-hungry corporations who ignore the power of energy itself.”
Sarah Butland, Book reviewer for The Miramichi Reader, author of Losing It At 40
“77° North, Wood’s debut novel, is a soliloquy of reconciliation bridging the gap which disconnects us among the cyclic structure of the universe. It’s a gentle caressing of the mind into forgetting so that we can remember better. It’s brilliant.”
Andrew Lafleche, award-winning poet and novelist of Ride, No Diplomacy and A Pardonable Offence
“This book, in a word, is about — resolve … If that sounds familiar, it should. Countless movies, Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and yearly news articles have similar themes. But here, in Wood’s grand attachment of reality melded to fiction, is the heart of magic/realism cast in northern light through the spirit of Inuit culture, and Chulyin, Raven, the bringer of light.”
Keith Inman, award-winning poet with six books of poetry, his latest, The Way History Dries (Black Moss Press).
