        Two Old Women

        by Velma Wallis

        This award-winning bestseller is based on an Athabascan Indian legend from the people of the remote upper Yukon River of Alaska. Passed along from mothers to daughters for generations, it is the tragic and shocking story--with an unexpected conclusion--of two elderly women abandoned by a migrating tribe facing starvation brought on by unusually harsh Arctic weather and a shortage of fish and game. The story of survival is told with suspense by Velma Wallis, whose subject matter challenges the taboos of her past. Yet, her themes are modern--empowerment of women, treatment of the elderly, and Native American family structure.

        Into the Forest

        by Jean Hegland

        Set in the near-future, Into the Forest focuses on the relationship between two teenaged sisters as they struggle to survive the collapse of society. Despite the fact that their happy world is rocked when their mother dies of cancer, they and their father are determined to carry on. Even as terrorism, a distant war, increasingly unpredictable weather, and an unstable economy challenge the reliability of social order and infrastructure, their little family continues to hoard its resources and attempts to keep up its spirits as they wait for the lights to come back on, the phone to ring, and the lives they have been anticipating to return to them. But when their father is killed in an accident, and a dangerous stranger arrives at their door, the girls confront the fact that they must find some new way to grow into adulthood.   Into the Forest is a BookSense Reading Group Pick, Readers Choice Book Club Favorite, and Book of the Month Club alternative pick. The film adaptation, starring Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood, debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2016.   First published by Calyx Press in 1996 and then reprinted by Penguin Random House/Dial.
