Review

"This well-researched novel is taunt with all the tensions and passions of any tale in which the characters are trapped.  That Sister Enid eventually gets her comeuppance, is only just and satisfying." --A! ~ The McQuark Review

The fast pace held my attention throughout novel. Fans of Historical Westerns, particularly of Native American tales, will enjoy this story!
--~Tracy Farnesworth, Romance Reader's Connection

A novel overflowing with action, suspense, and historical facts. Ms. Vines skillfully constructs her characters, and the plot. Great edition to add to your book collection.

This review is from: Whisper Upon the Water (Paperback)

It is a story of hope for the hopless, courage for the those who feel they have none, and Love when all that is lovely has been taken away.

Connie Vines writes in the first person as Tanayia. From the first I found myself reliving a time that most would gladly change if given a chance. Don't mis out on this beautiful book, Whisper upon the Water.
