Now in one volume, the sweeping Native American trilogy set at the dawn of human civilization in Alaska, from an international-bestselling author.

Following the lives of three incredible Aleut women in prehistoric Alaska, the Ivory Carver Trilogy has been hailed as “more successful than Clan of the Cave Bear” by the Washington Post Book World and “moving and credible” by the New York Times Book Review. Now, experience all three insightful and touching novels in this one epic volume.

Mother Earth Father Sky: After her tribe is slaughtered, a young woman, Chagak, is left alone to care for her infant brother. With nothing left to lose, she sets out on a dangerous quest for survival—and revenge—among the icy waters, vicious enemies, and frozen tundra of Alaska.

My Sister the Moon: Kiin has been betrothed to the son of the tribal chief since birth, but her heart belongs to his brother. When she is suddenly taken from her people, hardships, love, and chance will change Kiin—and ultimately lead her to a new destiny.

Brother Wind: Finally content with her hard-won life, Kiin is devastated when she’s thrust back into the nightmares of her past. Across the land, Kukutux, the wife of a Whale Hunter, faces starvation and hostility when she finds herself widowed. As their paths converge, the two women must find the strength in their hearts to withstand the cruelties of man, nature, and fate.

Filled with impeccable research and extraordinary characters, the Ivory Carver Trilogy is an unforgettable, must-read saga of family, love, survival, and history.

“Harrison does prehistoric inner life better than anyone.” —Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Sue Harrison grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and graduated summa cum laude from Lake Superior State University with a bachelor of arts degree in English language and literature. At age twenty-seven, inspired by the cold Upper Michigan forest that surrounded her home, and the outdoor survival skills she had learned from her father and her husband, Harrison began researching the people who understood best how to live in a harsh environment: the North American native peoples. She studied six Native American languages and completed extensive research on culture, geography, archaeology, and anthropology during the nine years she spent writing her first novel, Mother Earth Father Sky, the extraordinary story of a woman's struggle for survival in the last Ice Age. A national and international bestseller, and selected by the American Library Association as one of the Best Books for Young Adults in 1991, Mother Earth Father Sky is the first novel in Harrison's critically acclaimed Ivory Carver Trilogy, which includes My Sister the Moon and Brother Wind. She is also the author of Song of the River, Cry of the Wind, and Call Down the Stars, which comprise the Storyteller Trilogy, also set in prehistoric North America. Her novels have been translated into thirteen languages and published in more than twenty countries. Harrison lives with her family in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula.

Research plus incredible imagination define this trilogy of novels . I could not put it down and read late into several nights. Outstanding for anyone who thrives on stories of paleo history.

This is a Trilogy so it does get long, however it held my attention quite well through most of it. I learned a good deal about how early man may have lived in the Aleutian Islands. Life was primitive to say the least and the hardships were harsh and many. There were several main characters in this story and I had a hard time recollecting who was who, especially if I set the book aside for a few days. It turns out that didn't matter much to the story so not to worry about that part. I thought it was a good book but I've heard it compared to The Clan of the Cave Bear series and I can't make that connection at all. While I enjoyed the book, it's not one I'd give high praise to nor will I ever read it again at a later date. Overall, I gave it 4 stars and think I'm being generous.

A great three book novel set about the early Aleutians

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a trilogy about the early people who lived in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The trilogy begins in 7055 B.C. and follows the lives of a young girl and a man that she meets known as the Ivory Carver. Throughout the three books, we meet the descendants of these two and follow their lives in a wilderness world. I loved this trilogy to the point where as I neared the end of the third book, I was so sad to see it end. I looked under the author's other books and found that there is another trilogy which I plan on ordering next. Ever since I have been to Alaska, I find it so interesting to learn what the lives of the people who settled this huge place must have been like. This book is a fictional novel set but it reminds me of the early chapters in Michener's "Alaska". I have recommended this set to many of my friends, and now I recommend it to you. I hope you love Sue Harrison's writings as much as I do.

I first read this Trilogy at age 14, and now, 30 years later, I still enjoying reading the whole Trilogy every few years! I appreciate Sue Harrison's ability to say so much in so few words, to captivate the reader with relatable characters, and the thoroughness of her research and dedication to both the real and fictitious aspects of the stories. I just love these books, as well as her other writings, and definitely recommend them.

An Epic Tale that Never Sags

Nonstop action. Beautiful & authentic imagery. I could smell the cooking meat, and see the tunics the characters wore. This beautiful tale is one everyone should read for diversity's sake. It's a welcome break from cell phones, TV, and cars.

My only criticism is that I caught a few mistakes. No worries though. They were few & far between.

This book is lengthy, but worth the wait. Harrison also does a superb job of building tensions. Bravo!

Meh

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016

(SPOILERS) I loved this storyline, and I hated this storyline. Where things went south for me was from the point where Kiin was kidnapped by her brother. This seemed staged and unrealistic. The author ruined the storyline by this cruelty to a young woman who'd suffered her entire life, then finds a smidgeon of happiness for five minutes, then has it ripped away by a mean, jealous, spiteful brute of a brother. So, phooey with this book. Unlike Kiin, I have the power to sayNO. I refuse to be dragged through this crap of a storyline. It's like we're being abducted and raped. I figured that she'd eventually (wait for it!) "overcome" (can it be called that?), but not before a boatload of outrageous suffering. I was right. Jumping to the end, her brother is unceremoniously killed, and Kiin is restored to her family. Yeah, great. But IMO, the pages and pages and pages and pages devoted to her suffering... BAH! I do not enjoy a book that spends the majority of its time depicting the abuse of women. I say NO. Too bad the author didn't help Kiin say NO to her brother, and prevent her abduction, and the sexual and physical abuse that ensued. This book is on my Ridiculist for sure.

Great read! From the moment you start, you are pulled back in time and experiencing the daily trials and tribulations as Chagak does. This is a truly "can't put it down book". I'm so glad I bought the trilogy and even still wanting more as it feels like the series was over to soon. My husband also gives this "2 thumbs up". Thank you Sue Harrison and looking forward to enjoying more of your writings.

Fascinating and entertaining

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2017

I Read all three books one after the other as I found it so interesting. I love books that explore other cultures and time periods and leave me feeling I now know a bit more than I did before. This book certainly fulfilled that for me but was also an entertaining read that kept me gripped to the end.
It's well written, and judging by the references, glossary etc is well researched.
If I have any criticism it was that I felt the very ending was a bit rushed as if the author had run out of energy and wanted to wrap it all up and finish, or that she didn't handle the climax as deftly as the rest, but this is minor compared to the hours and hours of really good reading. I think it took me about 27 hours to read, and I am a fairly fast reader, so if you need to lose yourself in a good book for a few days you won't regret buying this one.
