Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Defining Pacific Northwest literature is akin to lassoing Sasquatch. Many attempt this distinctly regional feat; few ever succeed. [O'Connell] may be the most successful yet in analyzing the region's literature. . . . Impressive and insightful."

* Seattle Post-Intelligencer *

"On Sacred Ground is earnest, readable, and informative. . . . An invaluable book. Readers looking to connect with their region will appreciate its succinct survey of the history of literature, and its connection with the essence of out native or adopted home."

* The Seattle Times *
