While reading this book in a dark, wooden, cave-like basement apartment, I was mesmerized by this woman's journey into a personal spiritual realm. Discoveries, dangers, and strong ties to surprising teachers wove a fascinating tale. More than just a book - it contains a treasure-map to claim one's own strengths. As soon as I finished, I wanted to begin my "education," and did.

Lynn Andrews tells a great story with a liberal sprinkling of Native American wisdom to give it heft and meaning. PLEASE don't make the mistake, as I did, of reading this before reading the first book in the series, Medicine Woman. The latter really sets the stage for all that follows, and the chronology is important in the first two efforts, in my opinion.

Whether or not you read these books as fiction or non-fiction, is not paramount to their strengths. Lynn Andrews is similar to the wonderful Carlos Casteneda, but more accessible, I would venture to say. These works succeed on several levels, and have rightly remained very popular.
Read and enjoy!

Still love this book even after so many years since I read it for the first time. Really like the new cover design for it to. After looking everywhere for this book, was so glad to finally find it again.

It has been 11 years since I first discovered Lynn Andrews books. This series of books starting with Medicine Woman is more than entertaining, it is enlightening. It begins with her journey to Canada where she meets Agnes Whistling Elk, a Native American Shaman, who becomes her mentor, teacher and friend. Lynn's journey of learning and adventure, danger and excitement have you reading book after book wanting to keep the story going.

Flight of the Seventh Moon is the second in Lynn Andrew's series. It is as exciting and thought provoking the second time I am reading the series as the first.
