Okay so I will admit it has been awhile since I have actually read a book, LOL. But this is one of my all time favorites. If you are looking for a really good book to read this summer this is it. I love this author I think I have read each and every one of his books. He is so visual with his writing. I love that he mixes fact with fiction. Although almost all his books are based on true Native American stories. This book is about a young girl who is stolen from her white Quaker family by the Miami Indians. She is adopted by one of the families to replace a family member who was killed by white people. She is loved and cherished and this is her story of her families plight to find her and her life as a "Red Woman". This book is an amazing story and one worth reading over and over. It is an easy read although the book is 544 pages long. Before you know it you are brought into her life and the struggles of both sides. If you read this let me know I would love to know what you thought. On a side note Thom is a very graphic writer, if you are faint of heart most of his books are not for you, LOL. But if you can get past the realism he paints then his books are true testimonies to the plights of both the native Americans and the first settlers.
