The gift of Acabar

This book gives advice on overcoming adversity and getting along with others through telling a fictional story about extraordinary events in a remote village near the Arctic Circle.

First sentence: The plaintive cry of a solitary wolf echoed in the outside blackness, the dreaded sound penetrating the walls of every home and cabin in Kalvala as it swept through the desolate village on the first angry winds of winter.
