I Heard the Owl Call My Name by Margaret Craven

I Heard the Owl Call My Name by Margaret Craven

A place of salmon runs, ancient totems, and a lesson a young vicar must learn.
Amid the grandeur of the remote Pacific Northwest stands Kingcome, a village so ancient that, according to Kwakiutl myth, it was founded by the two brothers left on earth after the great flood. The Native Americans who still live there call it Quee, a place of such incredible natural richness that hunting and fishing remain primary food sources. But the old culture of totems and potlatch is being replaces by a new culture of prefab housing and alcoholism. Kingcome's younger generation is disenchanted and alienated from its heritage. And now, coming upriver is a young vicar, Mark Brian, on a journey of discovery that can teach him -- and us -- about life, death, and the transforming power of love.

Margaret Craven was born in Montana in 1901. Upon her graduation from Stanford University in 1924, she moved permanently to California. In 1941 she started writing for the Saturday Evening Post, which continued publishing her stories for 20 years. A visit to the Kwakiutl on the B.C. coast inspired her first novel, I Heard the Owl Call My Name, which became a bestseller in 1973, selling over one million copies, and was adapted as a television movie for CBS. Margaret published a second novel, Walk Gently This Good Earth, in 1977, and an autobiography, Again Calls the Owl, in 1980.
