From the Inside Flap
Game management officer Terra Bartlett loves two things above all else: her work with wildlife in Montana's majestic mountains, and the family who adopted her as an infant from the Crow Indian reservation. When Whitman Bull Chief, who blends traditional Native American culture with contemporary non-Indian ways, steals Terra's heart, he is eager to introduce her to Crow traditions. Refusing to go to the reservation with him, Terra resents her unknown birth parents, who she feels rejected her. A life-threatening experience jolts Terra into realizing she cannot move forward in her life with Whit until she addresses the issue of her adoption. Returning to the Crow reservation, Terra confronts the people who hold the key to the past and, ultimately, to her future.

Sensitive Contemporary View of Native American Culture,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Moon Honor (Hardcover)
From the moment the author introduced Tara Bartlett, I felt I knew this character. Following Tara in her search for her biological parents, the perils of her job as a game specialist, and her travels, was exciting and interesting. When Whitman Bull Chief enters her life, sparks fly! I loved everything about this book: the characters, the setting, the events. I also really liked the message in the book: respect and understanding of other cultures. This heroine is an excellent role model for all young women, and especially for Native American women. Great job, author!

Different...exciting...romantic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Moon Honor (Hardcover)
This is a modern (contemporary) love story of an Indian woman and the man who wants to share her life. It introduces the reader to Indian customs and traditions and does so with dignity and interest. I was fascinated - I hated to have the story end!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Sensitive, beautiful love story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Moon Honor (Hardcover)
Terra Bartlett's journey to find her biological parents, and her journey to find herself before she can commit to the love of her life, is told with sensitivity and charm. The author either lived the Crow Indian culture or researched carefully. Whichever it is, I appreciated learning more about this group of Native Americans. Their culture, and their home in Montana, sounds wonderful!
