what a series! These 3 books captivated me, I could not wait to get to the next. This should be a mini-series....but only if the t.v. folks promise to keep the heart of the book complete - GOD. Finding completeness in the Savior. Ms. Whitman captures it in all 3 books. thank you!!

If it were possible to give this one more than 5 stars, I would. This author actually gets BETTER with each sequel! Carrie Brown, affectionately called "Red Bird" by her old friend Soaring Eagle (that was the second book in the series -- read that one first, or "Red Bird" will lose you), has dreamed for years of marrying Soaring Eagle when she grows up. But is that GOD'S plan for her life? The reader asks that question over and over, as Carrie tries desperately to "maneuver herself" in a position to marry Soaring Eagle, all the while praying that he remains single until she's old enough. But what should she REALLY be praying for?

This one is truly the best in the series.

Loved this series by Stephanie Whitson and hated to see it end. It was one of the most touching novels I have ever read. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Number 3 in this series is the best yet... and I thought the other 2 were great! Don't read the end first, but it touches the soul. I have read it over and over. Godlyness (if there is such a word?) makes the romance even better than expected. Must Read!

Every book in this series is a must have and a keeper. You will

be moved to your very soul. I love the fact that a white women

and an Indian man with their love brought together such a

wonderful legacy. Don't miss a one.

A refreshing treatise on letting God orchestrate circumstances affecting us. Although a senior who has read Christian books for decades, I found author Whitson in Red Bird uniqueing offering her readers valid outlooks on dealing with the unexpected, especially those things that we would not choose, but that refine our relationship with our Lord, if we choose to let them. My faith has actually increased through access to this book, among the best I've ever read...a book that I stumbled across in our local library. Now Mrs. Whitson ranks among my favorite authors. Her books will be added to my personal home library.

Little Carrie Brown is a young lady with plans of her own. Soaring Eagle is an educated, dedicated Christian Indian man without a wife. Life is hard, smallpox wipes out a town and a dream. In the end, many memories are revisited! This series is superb! Stephanie, you did a great job! Is there more coming?

All of us are learning new things as we hit different stages of our life. So a little girl learns about her unrealistic dreams, a gossip learns about others pain, and a dedicated Christian learns to trust God in new ways.

First I must say that I am very strongly turned off by May/December romances. Be that as it may,I stuck with this series,and though the second book,'Soaring Eagle',is my favorite,I still enjoyed this book,until the end,which I feel was extremely abrupt! I really felt let down that there wasn't more time spent with it after all we went through in Soaring Eagle and most of this book.

Although this book was part of a series, it was excellent. This is the first book by Stephanie Whitson that I've read and I must say that I was very impressed. I found the book at a thrift store and paid $.25 for it. It was well worth the quarter! Soaring Eagle thought he was too old and too poor to ask Carrie (Red Bird) to be his wife. Carrie thought he would marry someone else before he noticed that she had changed into a young woman. I haven't read many novels where an Indian was a Christian and tried hard to obey God's commands. What Carrie went through was horrible. I was so moved by her suffering and then her acceptance of what happened to her that I needed a box of Kleenex tissue to finish this book. It was a great book and I recommend it.
