For more than a half century, Father Damien Modeste has served his
beloved Native American tribe, the Ojibwe, on the remote reservation of
Little No Horse. Now, nearing the end of his life, Father Damien dreads
the discovery of his physical identity, for he is a woman who has lived
as a man. To further complicate his quiet existence, a troubled
colleague comes to the reservation to investigate the life of the
perplexing, possibly false saint Sister Leopolda. Father Damien alone
knows the strange truth of Leopolda's piety, but these facts are bound
up in his own secret. He is faced with the most difficult decision:
Should he tell all and risk everything . . . or manufacture a protective
history for Leopolda, though he believes her wonder-working is
motivated solely by evil?In a masterwork that both deepens and
enlarges the world of her previous novels set on the same reservation,
Louise Erdrich captures the essence of a time and the spirit of a woman
who felt compelled by her beliefs to serve her people as a priest. The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse is a work of an avid heart, a writer's writer, and a storytelling genius.
