A Lenape himself, Jake George is the real deal. In Grandfather's Song he delves deeply into old time as well as modern Native American culture and crafts a magnificent, moving, and timeless story in which nature, family, and spirituality are closely intertwined. Indeed we have so much to learn from our Native American brothers and sisters...Mr George honors their heritage while inviting us to understand it and the importance of its wisdom. Grandfather's Song is a beautiful work, a wonderful read, and a fantastic journey into the Native heart of America...Bravo! I'm very much looking forward to continuing the adventure in A New Dawn.

Many people can write a book, but few can tell a story in the old way like Jake George does in "Grandfather's Song." A Native American tale, "Grandfather's Song" offers a fresh new voice to fans of well-told stories and Native Legends brought to life. Thank you, Jake, for the wonderful read. I would highly recommend this book, and hope more works are forthcoming.

Although a fiction based on Native American legend, I felt as if I was in the book experiencing everything the characters experienced. It will make you stop and thing about the current state of affairs of the world today and wonder if this could come to fruition! Absolutely an awesome book - a must read for all!

Jake George's, Grandfather's Song, is a wonderful read. I judge a good book by the visions I see as I am reading the story. Reading Grandfather's Song, I could see all that was happening as I read each sentence, in my minds-eye. It was a wonderful experience, and a wonderful journey. Thanks Jake!

Not many books give a glimpse of Native American culture, thoughts and beliefs as author Jake George has done with his "Grandfather's Song." He immerses you from the first page, lets you see from inside, up close, the legends and life of Lenape tribal members, lets you live it with the characters. Wonderful!

Jake George's story brings you right into the Native American tribal culture. The connection with Native American Folklore was the most fascinating part for me and I found Grandfather's Song to be an interesting and enjoyable read.

Jake George has a way of including some surprizing twists and turns in "Grandfather's Song." It is not only filled with fascinating Native lore but has complex human nature. I highly recommend it. The characters are well developed. Jake George writes so that you can see the novel unfolding before your eyes.

I also know that there is a follow on book coming and I was fortunate to read it in its draft form. Keep your eyes peeled for "A New Dawn." I was as glued to it as I was to "The DaVinci Code." It was an exciting, fast paced, dynamite novel. Read Grandfather's Song and get prepared for "A New Dawn." What a story!

If your goal is to read a book that transports you into a different world unlike any that you've read or seen before, then Jake George's Grandfather's Song is a must-read. Fantastic, authentic, thought-provoking, this book pulses with true Native American vision.

This is a great story that brings a Lenape Legend to the surface and guides humanity with a timeless message 'heed nature's warning'. I viewed this tale as a literary lesson to wake up to the fact that man has become his own worst enemy. Told through a true Native American voice, Jake George has written a wonderful story that encourages an ancient culture to hold onto their traditions. If we could turn back time and return to the 'old ways', would we learn from our mistakes? If you enjoy Native American lore, you'll love this novel.

A native American legend written by Jake George. A campfire story transformed into text for everyone to enjoy.

Tom Talking Coyote Jefferson prepares, with the help of his family from the Lenape tribe, for test given by a Shaman, who talks to the Keepers-of-the-animals. During the vision quest he learns the true animals are in danger in the Old World from the lack of predators...humans.

A true Native American voice that brings legends and traditions into a modern day tribe.
