A Small and Remarkable Life

What would it be like to be stranded on an alien planet, cut off from your own people, unsuited to your new environment, and physically different from everyone else? This is what the young alien Tink Puddah must face when his parents are killed on their first day on Earth in the year 1845, and Tink finds himself stranded in the Adirondack Mountains of North America. A story of courage, determination, hope and survival, "A Small and Remarkable Life" chronicles the journey of two lives headed in very different directions. The alien Tink Puddah, a lonely outsider who finds the strength and resources within him to endure the most brutal and unforgiving conditions, and the holy man, Jacob Piersol, determined to save Tink’s soul, but tortured by his own past and the God who seems unable to console him. From the Hugo and World Fantasy Award-nominated author comes this charming first novel about an orphaned alien who touches the lives of many people in upstate New York in the 19th century. Truly unforgettable!
