Two Old Women
Velma Wallis
This book is set in Alaska and tells the tale of two old women who are
left to die by their tribe. Against all the odds they survive, using
their skills in hunting and trapping. The tribe eventually returns, in
a very weakened state and have to ask the old women to give them food.
The author grew up in a similar tribe and the book has a very authentic
feel as a result. A short book but very atmospheric.

This is storytelling about two old women left behind by the tribe in a
harsh winter and they survive and grow up through it. It's simply
written and carries you along.
