Good story and characters. Got bogged down some with historical background but understandable to get the atmosphere of that time.
I loved the book and just got #2 and 3. I just hope that I don’t find out Gen marries Simon before she finds out Two Stars is alive. I understand there has to be a little mystery but some of these books take it too far.
Love her books! And this one did not disappoint!
Great faith based book. Characters ask the questions that everyday people do when looking to their faith
This is a very entertaining story that also gives a lot of historical information most people wouldn’t know about the Dakota Sioux in Minnesota. It has action and love, tragedy and triumph all woven together to create a very entertaining story. I look forward to reading more in this series.
