Praise & Reviews
In many ways, it reminded me of days spent camping and hiking in New Mexico. A different experience, but engendering those feelings of connections to the land and to timeless ways of thinking.
I hope this is not the end of the story.
Good reading. Easy to get caught-up in the story line. A mix of some Navajo culture and 'coming of age' for the main character.
Very enjoyable.
