What will the LaBoiteaux family pass down to their children? Will it be an inheritance: Pewabic Island, surrounded by still waters and mature birch trees and the teachings of Mr. Fox's Ojibway Indian tribe? Or is the legacy they leave behind wisdom and love? Against the backdrop of this peaceful island, the characters in this epic tale illustrate tradition vs. change, industry vs. solitude, and discordance vs. harmony. Although difficult times ensue, there is always the hope of redemption - and the promise of a double rainbow.
