Born for This

Second-year university student Edie Whitecrow gobbles up each course on Indigenous studies. If only she could experience the lives of her Anishinaabe ancestors instead of reading about them. On her way to a Halloween party decked out as a historical Ojibway maiden, she spies a corn maze in a spot known to be barren.

A scarecrow figure beckons Edie to enter with the enticing offer of making her biggest wish come true. She jumps at the chance and finds herself in the past, face to face with the man who haunts her dreamsâ€"the handsome brave Thunder Bear. He claims he's spent twelve years waiting for Gitche Manidoo to send her to him.

Life in the eighteenth century isn't what Edie romanticized about, though. When her conscience is tested, she must choose between the modern day or the world of her descendantsâ€"where the man she was born for resides.
