content: Long-held secrets and hidden truths are slowly revealed in this beautifully written book presented in three parts - each told through the eyes of a different generation of strong-willed Native-American women. As the plot of this intricate and emotional story unfolds, the reader gets the full impact of the lives of Rayona, Christine, and Ida - a triangle that is both strong as steel and fragile as glass.This was one of the best novels I have ever read, and would recommend it to older teens and adults of all ages. The impact of this story will stay with the reader for many years after the book is tenderly put away or passed on to an eager friend!
