Emma Anderson is Associate Professor of North American Religious History at the University of Ottawa.

A gorgeously written and richly imagined study of the fate of the Innu Pastedechouan, caught between the ambitions of French priests and his own kin in colonial New France. Anderson's vivid portrait belongs in the company of Carlo Ginzburg's Menocchio and Natalie Zemon Davis's Martin Guerre. Like these authors, she reveals herself to be a graceful and gifted historian of the inner worlds of people in the past. This is a compelling and deeply moving work of religious history.
