Motorcycles & Sweetgrass
Motorcycles & Sweetgrass is a captivating tale of magic, family, and mystery set in the sleepy Anishinawbe community of Otter Lake. This novel blends folklore, humor, and suspense into a warm, adventurous read for both teen and adult readers who love immersive Indigenous storytelling and coming‑of‑age journeys. The tone is hopeful, spirited, and gently magical, inviting readers to believe in resilience, community, and the power of unlikely alliances.
When a handsome stranger arrives, astride a 1953 Indian Chief motorcycle, Otter Lake wakes from its quiet routine. Maggie, the Reserve's chief, feels a spark of possibility, while her teenage son Virgil moves from curiosity to suspicion. He teams with his uncle Wayne, a master of Aboriginal martial arts, to uncover the stranger's true intentions—and discovers that a clever band of raccoons is willing to lend a hand. The blend of family dynamics, local legend, and a shared quest creates a mystery that feels intimate and epic at the same time.
Written with a clear, cinematic rhythm, Motorcycles & Sweetgrass invites readers to walk the shoreline of Otter Lake, listen to ancestral stories, and watch loyalties shift under pressure. The author balances magical elements with grounded character work, delivering scenes that are vivid, funny, and heart‑stirring.
