Historia
After crashing her dogsled into the frozen river, Ts'ellbah fears something is wrong, something deeper than the inexplicable new scar over her heart. She feels like a stranger in her own skin and struggles to remember her closest friends and family. At first, her clan is relieved that she survived the accident. But on a night when red spirit lights stain the sky like blood, Ts'ellbah suffers her first violent seizure and sees a vision in which a revered elder encounters a mythical monster and dies.

Mesmerizing tale not to be missed!

Sometimes five stars for a book aren’t sufficient, and Falling through Stars is in that category. Staci Olsen has created an enthralling story, steeped in the folklore and myths of Alaskan tribes. Olsen demonstrates a depth of knowledge and understanding about the potlatch ceremonies, the spiritual songs of prayer, the struggle for survival in harsh weather, and the tight community structure.
This is the story of a young woman, T’s’ellbah, who is forever changed by a devastating dogsled accident. She knows she is different somehow after the accident, becoming both prophet and savior of her people. And despite the dangers and distrust she faces, she finds her first love and like any young woman dreams of her future. This story reaches into the reader to touch all the emotions.
The surprising, shocking, and extraordinary ending left me completely undone and rethinking about what I have read. Rarely does a book provide such an unusual and amazing climax. You will not be disappointed.
I was very fortunate to receive the audiobook and was blown away by the talented narrator, Pam Tsujioka. Her cadence and voices for each character are perfect. She breathes life into the words, the descriptions, and the people. I strongly recommend this book in whatever format.
