Book Description

Publication Date: December 6, 2005

Murder, forbidden love, and Indian massacre all play a role in We the People, Pamela Ackerson's second novel of her time-travel trilogy. The first novel in the trilogy, Home of the Braves, tells the story of Karen Anderson, a modern-day surgeon, who discovers that the antique bed she purchased has the power to transport her into the past where she finds herself in the midst of the Indian Wars ... falling in love with the Indian warrior, Standing Deer. Now it's time for her son, Matthew (Gentle Raccoon), to discover what destiny the bed has in store for him. Matthew also finds love, in the arms of the beautiful, but young, Devry; a love forbidden by his mother. In the meantime, someone is murdering the men of the local men's' club ... What readers are saying about the first book of the trilogy, Home of the Braves: "In this work we are given morsels of history, suspense, romance, and the supernatural. It is a love story like none other; one that transcends time and space and stirs within us the unquenchable hope for a better tomorrow. If we could travel in the past, could we make things better for the future or would we dare to tamper with history? A top of the notch read! Highly recommended. "This novel will make you feel as if you are actually experiencing the past events. ... this is a MUST READ by ALL. To easily, we have forgotten the anguish of the past. ... brings back to life events that should be remembered and felt wholeheartedly by all Americans today." "This book was such a pleasure to read. It mixes suspense, thriller, fantasy, and romance all in one. Once you start reading ... you CAN'T put it down. I hope there will be a sequel."

Pulled Along History's Timeline
By Romance Junkies Reviewer: Rhea Palmer


A magical time-machine bed makes its way into the Anderson household forever changing their lives. They take turns traveling back in time to learn where their true destiny lies. In the second book of Pamela Ackerson's trilogy, it is Matthew's turn to learn where his place is in life. Transported back to South Dakota in the year 1890, Matthew is witness to the Native American Lakota tribe's battles with the U.S. Government. Being half Lakota himself, Matthew is torn between loyalty to his tribe and loyalty to his country. The conflict escalates into open hostility when Sitting Bull endorses the Ghost Dance - a religious movement seen as a threat to the U.S. military. Sitting Bull's arrest takes a dark turn when he is shot and killed and the hatred culminates in the Massacre of Wounded Knee.


As Matthew is pulled along history's timeline, he is frustrated at the mistakes made and the ignorance of both sides to how true co-existence can be accomplished. When Matthew meets Devry, this child-woman steals his heart and complicates his life in ways she cannot understand. How can Matthew find his destiny when Devry has no idea how different his world is from hers? In the midst of bloody confrontations and his own inner turmoil, can he keep his head and not alter history?


Pamela Ackerson's love for Native Americans shows through her writing. The characters she has created have a high regard for them and their beliefs. I enjoyed reading and learning about a culture I don't normally come into contact with. You will definitely need to start at the beginning of this story with her first book, Home of the Braves.

If the first book wasn't enough to keep you reading, the second is just as wonderful. I couldn't put it down, it draws you into the book and you want more. So is this going to be a trilogy? I sure hope so!!!!
