This was my first autographed book. My dad, who gave me my love of words, bought it for me at Seven Falls, Colorado after a performance by Native American dancers. The book was amazing and spurred my interest in Native America.

I read the last two chapters slowly I didn't want it to come to an end. Turtleheart and Evensigh's love story was just what I like to read. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did.

Broken treaties and Broken hearts.

The whites have committed all the violations, and we are to be punished for protecting our families?"

The story is compelling and emotional, with some very hard-hitting moments. However, the pacing was a little difficult to get into and the depiction of Evensigh as a female character felt a little lacking to me.
