5.0 out of 5 stars ~ Wild Horses Couldn't Drag Me Away, April 19, 2011
By L.M. Jackson “Lisa MJ” (Author of 'Perfect Circles')
Outstanding! A rare jewel! Many have written about the ending days of Native American life in the 1800's. Very few have had the ability to imbue the deep connection these people had with each other, their way of life and the heartbreak they endured.
5.0 out of 5 stars ~ A Jewel of Writing, April 18, 2011 By J.A. Plantamura “Joe”
I am enthralled. What wonderful writing. McClay vividly describes the life and times of Dancing Wind. She humanizes history and brings it to life. This is such a magnificent tale.

By Frances Anderson-Jackson, Author of "Patience - Bold Rider"
Ms. McClay has written a story to satisfy the heart as well as the mind. While the romance is poignant, I equally enjoyed the well researched work into Native American life and lore. This lady knows her material and is a natural storyteller. I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars ~ Can't wait for the sequel, April 23, 2011 By Fourwindsdancer
I was mesmerized. I've read many Native American novels, from Historical Fiction to Historical Romance, and this is the first book that I was able to connect with and really feel for what the characters were experiencing.

About the Author
Terrie and her husband own a small farm on the eastern shore of Maryland where they have lived since 1977 raising Morgan horses, and most recently, Miniature Zebu cattle. For the past twenty years she has worked at a nearby Thoroughbred farm as an Equine Mid-wife during the foaling season. Native American studies have been her passion for more than thirty years. Since 1995 her research has been focused on the culture and history of the Lakota, which included four trips to Montana and the Dakotas. She joined the Whirling Rainbow Lodge in 2000. Terrie has been an active member, and has been honored with the privilege of serving as a Council Member. Under the supervision of the Seminole Shaman Caocoochee, she continues to walk the Medicine Path, and has participated in the Pipe Ceremony, the Sweat, Green Corn, and a four day Vision Quest. A Note from the Author I wish to thank you for purchasing my novel. Half of my proceeds will be donated to Native American tribes for education, in keeping the traditions and the culture of the People alive. Pila ma ya ye. Aho.
