In this powerful and evocative collection, girls and young women stand at the center of sixteen Native American stories told "for the daughters and granddaughters who will come after." Drawn from a wide range of tribal nations and traditions, these tales explore the many paths to womanhood through courage, resilience, humor, love, and sacrifice.

Across the collection, brave and resourceful heroines outwit monsters, escape kidnappers, and confront the expectations of marriage -- sometimes with clever humor, sometimes with profound tragedy. Standout stories include "The Beauty Way," a moving account of an Apache rite of passage; "Stonecoat," in which women defeat a powerful and dangerous medicine man through the strength of their moontime; and the title story, where a young woman not only marries the moon but shares in his sacred responsibilities. Together, these stories celebrate coming of age, cultural continuity, and the enduring power of women in Native storytelling traditions.
