A strikingly vivid audiobook about the adventures of Calamity Jane and the abandoned daughter who seeks to be reunited with her. Miette has no desire to meet up with the mother who abandoned her, a female she knows only as an infamous soldier, drinker, and exhibition shooter: Martha Canary, made notorious as Calamity Jane. But Miette's beloved adoptive father makes a deathbed request that the two be reunited: "You should do it. Promise me you won't change your mind. I know that you've heard sickening things and those things are all true, but I'm sure she wants to learn you." Set in the Badlands of the UNITED STATES West in the late 1800s, In Calamity's Wake tells the storyplot of Miette's quest across a landscape occupied by strangers, ghosts, and animals. On her journey she meets an old lover of her father's, a man who claims to be her brother, an imposter she thinks is her mother, Negro minstrel Lew Spencer, a kind madam who is her mother's best ally, a wolf who longs to safeguard her, and many others. Woven into Miette's story will be the stories of Jane as told in legend, history books, dime store novels, and by the girl herself. When Miette and her mother finally meet, the countless threads of these tales come together and Miette must decide whether to forgive the girl who had forsaken her for a life of danger and adventure.
