Title: A Fabulous Lakota Love Story
Product review: Although Lakota Moon is a work of fiction, the inspiration for this novel (and the curious piece of history that initially drew me to this story) lies in the true account of Cynthia Ann Parker who, at the tender age of nine, was captured by Comanches in 1836. She became thoroughly ensconced in the ways of the Comanche, marrying Peta Nacoma, a young chief famous for a series of violent raids on white settlements. Their tragic love story is part of the fabric of the American frontier.Jackson has taken the skeletal details of Cynthia Ann's short, poignant life and transformed its essence into a Lakota love story. Her fictional character, Mary Eliza McElroy, will capture your sympathy, your imagination, and your heart. Filled with emotional conflicts and rugged adventure, it is a satisfying novel, perhaps the wistful fantasy that we would have hoped for poor Cynthia Ann.
