From Knitting Out Loud:
Our fifteenth audiobook is beautifully and lovingly read
by its accomplished author Donna Druchunas,
who was an absolute delight to work with.

Donna tells the moving stories of the women of the Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers’ Co-operative (do check out their great website, one look will make you smile) in Anchorage, stories reflecting their courage and determination to maintain and honor a traditional culture in the midst of contemporary pressures.We learn about the rare Musk Ox from which qiviut comes, and hear remarkable stories of the daring first European explorers to traverse Alaska’s inhospitable terrain.
