First wives club : Coast Salish style

Maracle, Lee 1950- (Author).

Summary: "Maracle, in bold fashion, does not concern herself with prescribed forms of prose. Instead, she is an innovator, creating her own forms to write about her female Salish ancestors' practice of extended family child rearing, the Coast Salish history of False Creek, female sexuality and creative empowerment, a child's struggle with the death of his mother, and a strained relationship between a son and his father." --Back cover.
