 doesn't return from checking his traps. Told she has no family\, Rosalie i

  where she can finally belong. In the process\, she learns what it means t
 o be descended from women with souls of iron--women who have protected the
 ir families\, their traditions\, and a precious cache of seeds through gen
 erations of hardship and loss\, through war and the insidious trauma of bo
 arding schools.\nWeaving together the voices of four indelible women\, 'Th
 e Seed Keeper' is a beautifully told story of reawakening\, of remembering
  our original relationship to the seeds and\, through them\, to our ancest
