Editorial Reviews

Review

Thunder's Grace: Walking The Road Of Visions With My Lakota Grandmother is the tale of a remarkable elder, Grandma Grace Spotted Eagle, who adopted the author and guided her in a spiritual awakening and, over the years, helped refine her spiritual life and gifts. At once harrowing and uplifting, this memoir tells of Thunder's early life: her abandonment by her mother when she was three weeks old, her survival of alcohol abuse, a dysfunctional family and a broken marriage. Thunder's Grace takes the reader through her experiences with Grandma Grace and other legendary elders such as Wallace Black Elk, Rolling Thunder, and Chief Leonard Crow Dog, to the experience of death during a heart attack that transformed her, and the remarkable years she spent traveling America by van. Thunder's Grace culminates with her inclusion in the "Sun Dance", one of the oldest and most venerable of sacred initiations. Intimate, painfully honest, and spiritual in essence, Thunder's Grace (written at the request of Grandma Grace Spotted Eagle) is about one woman's quest for meaning amid two cultures, and a compelling account of the visionary side of life. A unique, unusual, and highly recommended contribution to Native American studies. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars An open and revealing book about Native American magic, June 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thunder's Grace (Paperback)
It is highly uncommon to find an humble visionary, but that is exactly what you will find in this book, coupled with a witty and sharp perspective that strikes home to us all. A real Native American Medicine Woman's life adventure, coupled with a good dash of her own teaching for those of you who are wanting to learn. A New-Age must for all who are seeking a way to reach beyond what you can see, into what you know is really there!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book about learning by walking Nativ Tradition, December 3, 1999
This review is from: Thunder's Grace (Paperback)
What I like the most about this book is that Mary Thunder tells us all about her mistakes that she made walking this path. It is a very honnest book and the writer shows us what it means to be a Human Being.Even when we are a Spiritual Person, she shows us we are not perfect. A very personal book, I could not stop reading so I finished it at once. There is a lot of funny stories in there.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, November 26, 2008
This review is from: Thunder's Grace (Paperback)
This book is a miserable read. It is a very poor reflection of who she once was. The stories that I have heard of her are not a reflection of this book. Maybe her next one will be better.
