Summary: Great Book
Review: I read this book when I was ten years old and I was enthralled. I felt as if I were facing the same challenges Kat was facing. Although I would recommend this book to older readers. I really enjoyed it and hope that other people have enjoyed it to

Summary: An excellent "coming of age" novel
Review: This is a terrific story. Kat, humiliated and shunned after the disaster of her first "bear", the initiation ritual, takes to wandering by herself in the ruins outside the village, where she meets Raim, the blind weaver. Blinded by an accident, the village cast him out, saying he was "cursed". Kat begins to heal internally as she becomes more and more involved with him. Observing Raim's own anguish in coming to terms with his pain and anger, she realizes that he is the real outcast - and that there are worse things than not being accepted.
