Reviews
Literary Fisticuffs

“This book is  a compelling, well-written story… It fills a void in the today's literature and creates a discourse regarding a marginalized part of the fabric of Canada. The book resonated with me as it is about being brave and knowing… what it means to be resilient. The book will appeal – and will provide insight – to a wider audience. This book is a winner because it is not a long book and it is a perfect cure for cabin fever: as an avid reader you get a sense of accomplishment when you finish a book!”

The author’s writing was so good. At first I thought this book would be a difficult read since I don’t normally read books with cultural substance but the way it was written in an engaging way made the experience enjoyable for me. It was fun to read Nadie’s journey and her self-realizations. I became intimately involved and sympathetic to her as she took decisions after decisions.

I have always wanted to learn more about the Native American culture.  I think I learned a little more in this book.  This book was great.  This book was sad but gripping.  I enjoyed the characters and the story line.  I fell I cried with these characters and smiled when they did.  I think the author did a great job with this book. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*  5/5​
