As a lesbian and a Lakota woman, when I first heard about the book, I was torn: excited to see a Native lesbian lead and worried because the writer already used the word "shaman" and I knew it was taking place in the 1700s. With that and knowing the author was not Native herself and already making the "shaman" error, I wondered how many more mistakes would be made and if once again, I'd see another disrespectful atrocity committed against my people in a work of fiction.

Good, very good indeed.
The author has demonstrated an impressive ability to present an authentic environment for a classic love story. The story has a quality about it that feels mythical in it's portrayal of the Native Americans - demonstrating their honour and wisdom at every turn.
How much of this is a fantasy, I'm not sure - apologies I know very little about Native American culture although I feel that might be about to change - I have a vague memory of a film with Dustin Hoffman, where as a...more

Amazing story! Could not put this book down. Redhawk did a wonderful job of making the reader get lost into the world of the Lakota. I greatly enjoyed learning of the Lakota culture and about wicakte, the two-souled person. The love story of Anpo and Kathleen, two people destined to be together, was just WOW! This book is among my Top 5

I was given a copy of this book by the author and I loved it. It has a place of honor on my book shelf, not just because I know the person whose mind crafted the tale, but because the book is a compelling read, a pretty little microcosm that teases the senses and leaves you haunted with little fantasies of what happens next...
I'd like to see more of this author's work on my local bookshelves. Having read other works that are sadly out of print, I would love to be able to indulge myself in the lu...more

the story line was a bit of a cliche but i enjoyed it =)
This book is really incredible, probably Redhawk's best piece of work. The characters have depth and a real sense of the time. The Lakota are portrayed as realistic as possible and the story is a fast, entertaining read. The end of the book begs for a part two, but we know there are no happy endings for this noble tribe. Damned good literature.
This book was difficult to put down. The Lakota world seems true to the times and pulls you in. It shows community building and beliefs and ceremony that bind the tribe. The characters grab you and make you want to know what happens next. It also contains a wonderful love story that builds slowly and ends happily. I highly recommend it.
This is one of my all time Favorite Novels by a Bard who is accomplished in all areas of a story...I Highly Recommend This Novel.
Indians are smarter than the rest of us.
