About the Book
Chi Mee: Émigré is set in the 800 years between the last two Ice Ages. A girl and her son leave their camp in the Orient and trek through mountain canyons and plateaus until they reach a friendly camp of Human Beings. They follow the caribou herds and cross the Bering Sea during a freeze. They find themselves in America, following mile-high ice mountains and hunting behind the Buffalo herds.
The story is realistic and presents a portrayal of 'what might have happened.'
