MN Reads: "Gichigami Hearts: Stories and Histories from Misaaabekong" by Linda LeGarde Grover

The North 103.3 | By Lisa Johnson
Published June 30, 2021 at 12:41 PM CDT

Linda LeGarde Grover has turned her hand to telling some old stories in her latest book, Gichigami Hearts
Stories and Histories from Misaabekong: some imagined, some from her family's history.

In part, she says, because she's come to believe "we're reliving the old-time stories every day."

Gichigami Hearts: Stories and Histories from Misaabekong by Linda LeGarde Grover is published by the University of Minnesota Press.

The gorgeous cover art for her book was done by master beadwork artist Jessica Leigh Gokey, and you can find out more about her work here, and on Facebook.
