Set north of the sixtieth parallel, these interconnected short stories gather in and around the dance hall nicknamed Moccasin Square Gardens. The collection blends everyday small‑town scenes with folklore, giving a vivid sense of life in Denendeh and the communities that shape it.

Characters range from shamans and archivists to con artists and time‑bending figures, all drawn with sharp humour and humane observation. Supernatural threads — including the fearsome Wheetago — sit alongside phone‑booth dreams, doctored casinos and quirky family dramas.

Using techniques rooted in oral history, the stories explore how tradition, climate change and desire intersect: medicine power, the cost of greed, and the search for connection. Warm, funny and occasionally eerie, the collection captures the texture of northern life with clarity and heart.
