Woman of a Thousand Secrets

Found floating in a basket in the sea by a childless couple who adopt her, Tonina is very different in appearance from her fellow villagers, being tall, lean, and light-skinned, a difference that makes her adoptive parents decide to send her back to her people when she reaches the age of nineteen, in a saga set against the backdrop of pre-Columbian America. Original. 40,000 first printing.
