Description
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 self-discovery, 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.

"We tell stories to make sense of our lives. Storytelling is not only a source of meaning but of survival. In Nancy King's mythic tale A Woman Walking a young girl has to chose between staying home in an ordinary life and taking on the task of travel and story making. A bit of fairy tale, a bit of Ursula LeGuin, and the author's own vision bring these tales to life.
--Miriam Sagan, author of Gossip and Map of the Lost
