I Heard the Owl Call My Name

by Margaret Craven

Overview

Margaret Craven’s classic and timeless story of a young man’s journey of discovery into the Pacific Northwest. Here amid the grandeur of British Columbia stands the village of Kingcome, a place of salmon runs and ancient totems - a village steeped in time and legend. In this Eden of such natural beauty and richness, the old culture of totems and potlaches is under attack - slowly being replaced by a new culture of prefab houses and alcoholism. Into this world enters Mark Brian, a young vicar sent to the small isolated parish by his church. This is Mark’s tale - a journey that will teach him about life, death, and the transforming power of love.
