A warm glow basks Inuit children gathered around their grandmother in an igloo as they listen to her tell one of her magnificent stories. The adventure begins when an Inuit family with two children, Tiak and Unu, leave their people to find better hunting grounds. They travel for many days across Ice Cap Mountain, often suffering from hunger and exhaustion. Tiak and Unu's mother dies during the trip, and when they reach their new home, they often fend for themselves as their father hunts for food. One day, he doesn't come back, and Unu tells her brother of a dream in which their father told them to go back to their people beyond Ice Cap Mountain. Knowing that such a dream would not lead them astray, they pack their knives and fishing gear and set out to find their people. On the way, they meet a seal-the guardian of the sea-who tells them to visit Brother Walrus, who knows the way to Ice Cap Mountain. To survive, they'll need to traverse difficult terrain, battle a grizzly bear, and get help from an unlikely friend-Snowbear.
Markel the Magnificent is based on an old lonely neighbor who, after the death of his wife, totally isolated himself from the outside world. Upon the author inviting him to move to Texas, he was introduced to the younger generations and, through one of her friends ("the young dragon"), traveled all over Europe, which he could not have done on his own anymore. This raised his spirit to the extent of him becoming outgoing and friendly. When he had to move to a nursing home, he was happy to relate to the staff and residents many stories of his past as a sculptor and his experiences during World War II when he was enlisted as an engineer building airfields in the Pacific. Being able to talk about his past was such a freeing experience that he died peacefully when his time had come.

The Daughter Zion allegory represents a particular narrative articulation of the paradigm of bridal mysticism deriving from the Song of Songs, the core element of which is the quest of Daughter Zion for a worthy object of love.

In particular, she argues, the allegory lends itself to an exploration of the medieval sense of self; of the scope of human agency within the mystical encounter; of the gendering of the religious subject; of conceptions of space and encl...
