This story draws us deep into a dark period of America's history as white settlers and Native Americans fight for the same land. It was a time of intense unrest, distrust and often violence. The characters in this book come from both sides of the line drawn by this turbulence. Beware for there are graphic depictions of the savagery inflicted by one upon another. The author did an excellent of showing that you cannot lump all people into one kettle. There were good and bad in each culture as well as innocents who paid the price for those who were bent on evil. Through her riveting story of love, loss, betrayal, reunion and restoration she weaves together a brilliant revelation of what it was like to live during those years. Through the characters' self reflection and self revelation we begin to understand the immense struggle for peace and justice. She also taps on our hearts for a deeper level of compassion and forgiveness and self-sacrifice for others.
I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.
