As Morrisseau's secretary and traveling companion, the main character, Gilbert Petén (a.k.a., Little Eagle) takes a spiritual journey of awakening throughout parts of western Canada where he experiences bouts of alcoholism and drug addiction, art forgery, harassment from the Canadian mob, and ancient Ojibwe spiritualism. At the end of the novel the reader is left wondering whether Petén will ever accept the spirituality he discovered on his travels with Morrisseau and his spiritual guide, the Native American mystic and shaman, Many Tongues. As the novel nears its conclusion, Petén ultimately rejects his newly discovered spirituality and link with Many Tongues in favor of a typically traditional life with a good job, a decent income, a nice home, and a loving husband. However, the lingering spirit of Many Tongues continues to haunt Petén when all is quiet and he is alone to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Arthur Maddux\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor Emeritus at the University of Cincinnati.
