Jane Pejsa has written an insightful story and has painted a vivid picture of Emily Peake's life. She gained the trust of Emily's friends and relatives when compiling this story, and they spoke honestly and lovingly to her of the woman they knew endearingly as 'adieu." T his may not be the only story told about Emily Peake, but it is certainly the first, and it offers American Indians and others an honest, complimentary view of an Ojibwe woman who shaped the landscape of a twentieth century American Indian community.
-Pauline Brunette Danforth, Ph. D..White Earth Ojibwe, Director, TRIO Student Support Services, Metropolitan State University.
Jane Pejsa has written the life story of Emily with such skill, insight and compassion, that it brings the image and friendship of Emily alive in the memories of those who loved her.
