Hayes, a native Alaskan living in Juneau, wrote about returning to Alaska in her first book, Blonde Indian. This book, part memoir, part cultural exploration, tunrs Hayes' unique voice to other stories, like completing college in her fifties and becoming a professor and writer. We think you'll love the excerpt, and hope it will get you excited to read more.
