Starting in the present day and moving backward, the novel is told in the voices of the three women: fifteen-year-old part-black Rayona; her American Indian mother, Christine, consumed by tenderness and resentment toward those she loves; and the fierce and mysterious Ida, mother and grandmother whose haunting secrets, betrayals, and dreams echo through the years, braiding together the strands of the shared past. 2506 1987 A Yellow Raft in Blue Water: A Novel total:2388|5:554|4:913|3:660|2:198|1:63| 2388 8861 3047 355 4 3 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 01 18:09:50 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 04 19:34:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Fri Jun 06 15:27:48 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 04:39:07 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 15:27:48 -0700 2008 It really highlights the frailty of humanity as well as the deep, abiding damage that can come from secrets; even well ...more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Nov 24 14:57:52 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 15:20:03 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 1 false false Mon Nov 24 14:23:17 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 19:09:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 15:45:58 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 16:07:06 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 1 1 false false Mon Nov 24 13:10:41 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 18:01:37 -0800 2008 The story begins with Rayona playing cards with Christine in the hospital, w...more...]]> 2 1 false true Sun Nov 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 16:58:54 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 17:51:57 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 1 1 false false Mon Nov 24 17:29:41 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 04:38:12 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 08:57:47 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 08:58:11 -0800 2008 1.
