Can one woman with a spiritually-inspired environmental mission overcome the efforts of a large military organization determined to hide its decades-old environmental scandal? In this sequel to the "In the Arms of Gitche Gumee" novel, the perilous journey of Velvet LeBlanc, a First American woman from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, continues. Now, as member of Congress, she probes the origins of steel barrels which washed ashore on the beaches of Lake Superior. Little does she know that the barrels were a harbinger of a much greater environmental threat to Gitche Gumee and the people of her district, and that her investigation would unlock a decades-old secret far greater in scope and scale than she had ever imagined. Her political journey is fraught with disappointment and even death, but one she feels compelled to continue despite overwhelming odds. The resolution of this Great Lakes mystery and its aftermath will surprise even those who know the troubled environmental history of Lake Superior.
