One of the strongest pieces of Native American storytelling I have had the pleasure of reading. Tapahonso's voice is strong and her words flow in a way that will resonate with generations. The reader is able to see a bit of his or herself in the stories shared by the author.

I highly recommend taking the time to read these beautiful words!
