Kiti is nineteen when her mother dies giving birth to a son and leaves
Kiti responsible for the infant's safety. By placing the baby outdoors
to die, the shaman father consigns his only daughter to rescuing her
brother and transporting him to the frozen high islands of her mother's
people.
In this quest adventure we enter the world of traditional
Inupiat and the little-known High Arctic filled with danger, darkness,
stark beauty--and harsh demands that permit no second chance.
Focused on the traditional Inupiat in conjunction with doctoral studies in anthropology, Manning
says, "I determined to help give these remarkable people literary
breath, thought, and action after scholarly writing was
concluded." Kiti on Ice is an adventure novel for adults.
Here's what others are saying about Kiti on Ice...
"Stunning...breathtaking and chilling chronicle of life in another time and place that no reader will forget."
- Claire Braz-Valentine, Playwright and Poet
"Using characters that walk off the page...lets us feel the warm breath
of a seal, whiff the aroma of whale blubber, shiver in frigid
temperatures...Manning weaves her reader into the icy fabric of the
Arctic."
- Chicki Mallan, Travel Writer

the California hills, towns and communities formed.

America, the land of opportunity we call it, has throughout its history attracted so many diverse peoples from far distances. Most Americans, if not immigrants themselves, are descendents of those who came here in search of something better, albeit a search not without its challenges.
