Red Bird's Song
by
Beth Trissel (Goodreads Author)
Taken captive by a Shawnee war party wasn't how Charity Edmonson hoped to escape an unwanted marriage. Nor did Shawnee warrior Wicomechee expect to find the treasure promised by his grandfather's vision in the unpredictable red-headed girl. George III's English Red-Coats, unprincipled colonial militia, prejudice and jealousy are not the only enemies Charity and Wicomechee...more

However, his patience, honor, and surprising gentleness soon show Charity that...more
Score 1000 for Beth Trissel! This is undoubtedly the best novel she’s yet written! No wonder it’s an award winner. Told from the Native American point of view, it’s more than reminiscent of Last of the Mohicans, from the descriptive language to the storyline itself. Just as most of the white men in the story aren’t truly bad, there are no “bad Indians” either; most are ambivalent in their emotions and intentions according to the situations in which they find themselves. The truly wicked ones, in...more
Charity Edmondson is a young, beauty with long redhair. Wicomechee is a handsome Shawnee warrior. Wicomechee finds Charity at the river near her homestead and he realizes she is the "treasure" his grandfather, Eye of the Wolf , told him he would find there. He takes her with him, as her family has either been killed or has run off,...but not until a very merry chase has ensued.Charity's cousin Emma also is taken along but she is most willing due to the arrival of her lost love Colin, long though...more
I liked it. This was actually more of a 3.5 star read for me, but I rounded it up because the characters are so wonderful and engaging, and the romance between the characters was very sweet. The writing was excellent, and I could tell that the author did a great deal of research into the time period, and into the Shawnee history and traditions. It was an interesting story. I think anybody who enjoyed Catherine Anderson's "Comanche Moon" will really enjoy this book.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the way Beth's characters interacted. I got a great sense of how they lived and felt like I was actually there. I also liked after the story Beth told history of her family which was very interesting. I look forward to more books from this author.
Beth Trissel is one of my favorite writers and she did a fantastic job with this story! Couldn't put it down!
