"That remarkable novel that not only embeds us in a bygone time and
place, but also wakens us to a wide and presently shared dawn of
love, violence, frailty, and possibility." --Steve Yates, author,
Morkan's Quarry
"Will appeal to fans of both historical fiction and nonfiction--or
to anyone who appreciates a strong story told with a true and
honest voice. Author Steve Wiegenstein carries us back to a complex
time and invites us to share in the tale of a resilient people who
are mightily challenged, yet struggle to overcome all." --Dianna
