Selected as an "Outstanding Book of the Year" by the New York Time Book Review in 1973, "I Once Knew an Indian Woman" is a heartwarming childhood memoir. The story is set in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, between First and Second World Wars. The book received multiple rave reviews, and was also awarded first prize in the Canadian Centennial Literary Competition. This new edition for 2020 is edited by Ebbitt Cutler's son, Keir Cutler, who worked with his mother before her death in 2011 to develop an updated version. Keir also created a theatrical monologue from the book titled, "Magnificence" which won Best English Text when it debuted at the 2019 Montreal Fringe Festival. In 1973, the New York Times review of "I Once Knew an Indian Woman" stated, “Simplicity isn’t easy to find any more and neither is goodness. . . . Madame Dey is a marvellous figure. Her story is revealed gently, almost unobtrusively. . . . A story like this is almost impossible to tell without cuteness or sentimentality. Ebbitt Cutler has managed it.”
