This is a wonderful story rich in detail and description of the life of a young Apache girl who is kidnapped from her tribe.  The story involves her life following this event.  From the cruelty of her captor to the amazing grace of her deliverer, MeLei never looses sight of who she is and what she was called accomplish in her life. She faces adversity with with bravery and fortitude which she has learned from her Apache background. MeLei is called to be a healer during life's journey.  Oleta Toliver has done very detailed research on the medicinal sources MeLei uses.  This information was fascinating to me as I have studied alternative healing for years.  I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story and enjoys learning a little history along the way.

Full of fascinating historical fiction (I assume), this book was a great read. Following the lives of so many women who were wronged, and seeing how they all may or may not get justice. Countless theories suggest ideas such as the main one in this Chronicle/Gospel. Beautiful language makes you feel like you're right there with the characters. Very empowering to women and men alike.

I really enjoyed this book. I found it to be a quick read and I was sad when it was over because I really liked the characters and felt like I had gotten to know them throughout the course of the book. I enjoy a good historical fiction book where you are entertained by a great storyline but learn a little history in the process. I'll look forward to future books by this author.

I loved this book. I am a big fan of Historical Fiction and this one was great. It reminded me a lot of Sarah Jio novels in the way it alternates between two time periods showing that the present and the future connect. It also had a little mystery to solve.
It was written beautifully. The characters were very real. I loved that it gave you a true picture of what it would have been like to be Olive and Angelina and Sadie. Women working in the early 1900's and trying to make a salary and still fit the role of a woman in those days. It showed just how much and how little women were told about their own bodies and health.
Olive is such a great character. She is strong and ahead of her time in many ways. Angelina is a wonderful pairing for her.
Amanda is our woman in the present time. Her life is complicated to say the least. I love that the choices she makes seem like those that a real person would make. All the characters have that in common making it a realistic group of woman to fall in love with.
I would totally recommend it to anyone who enjoys Historical Fiction, romance with a little mystery, and Sarah Jio fans.

Fantastic read! I love historical fiction and the story about Cynthia Ann Parker a.k.a. Nadua and her Comanche husband Nocona is a very captivating one from the beginning. Even though there are a lot of brutal details as when Cynthia was kidnapped from her family as a child and later during Indian raids and wars with other tribes or the soldiers, there are parts that are very interesting because I enjoy learning about the old ways of living of Native Americans. Their knowledge about predicting the weather or the next season, tracing, caring for wounds and illnesses with herbs, tool and weapon making, to name just a few, was immense. Overall, I think I liked the many details about day to day life in a Comanche band the best.
