In this folktale novel, Ninan inherits an unwelcome legacy. She must follow the tradition of her grandfather and become a traveling storyteller, telling the stories of her people. On each step of her journey Ninan tells a unique and universal story that speaks to the people gathered to listen. At first, stories erupt from her unbidden and uncontrolled, and the nomadic life is an obligation not a joy. Although she yearns for love and comfort, Ninan continues to walk. In a spiral of selfdiscovery, as she explores peoples deepest needs and emotions, she realizes that every story is a kind of gentle magic. She is a storyteller. She is a woman walking.
