Amazon.com Review
A newspaper article inspired this compelling story of lost hope and found love. The story featured a homeless man found living in an underground urban hideout. Kathleen Eagle artfully weaves this setting, Native American myth, and comic book archetypes into a sad tale of three lonely and frightened people who have much to lose by exposing themselves to the world. Angela Prescott is running from her former abusive lover; Tommy T is a child abandoned to the streets by his alcoholic mother; and Jesse Brown Wolf is a street-smart loner by day, a vigilante by night. The three find that despite life's harsh realities, there is still much beauty to discover in love.
From Library Journal
Jesse Brown Wolf, a mysterious handyman, lives underground to escape his disabling migraines and his equally disturbing past. Angela Prescott has fled her classroom and her home to hide from her abusive, powerful ex-lover. Drawn together by Tommy T, a precocious, homeless 12-year-old, Jesse and Angela find unexpected depths of heroism and love within themselves as they form an unlikely alliance to take a stand against crime on the mean streets of Minneapolis. Traditional Native American folklore and imagery counterbalance the harsh descriptions of survival in the inner city. Eagle, whose Sunrise Song (Avon, 1996) is a nominee for the this year's Janet Dailey Award, lives in the suburbs of Minneapolis.
