The journey of writer Joseph Bruchac from his childhood filled with love and secrecy, to his career as one of the best-known Native American storyteller of history and lore. A book about finding one's cultural heritage. A personal, mythic and historic novel.

This book was SO much better than the first in the series. But even this story was only a little more interesting. There is only one mystery - a murder that happens at the beginning of the book - and there are no layers of intrigue. The characters are not well formed and are very predictable. The 30-something main character tries to contain her naturally curly auburn locks. The young assistant bursts into tears at the slightest confusion..... Anyway, even if you love mysteries and tea (I love mysteries and tea!) you might want to find a different book to read. Maybe the THIRD book in the series will be better. I'm afraid I have it in my stack and I'm determined to soldier through it. But not until I read a few real books first.

I thought this was really funny! The rest of my book club did not. The woman in the book is not especially noble, or even likeable, but interesting, and her mind jumps from one thing to another, always coming back to the miscarriage that she is going through. Check it out.

I love Sarah Bird! This book especially was hilarious, I actually laughed out loud. It is also very insightful and touching, has several subjects worth a good discussion, did I mention that it is funny? Also a love story. Many layers to the story. I liked this book so much, I am going to read all Sarah Bird's books..... I'm on number four now, "The Boyfriend School" It's even better. Highly recommended!

I LOVE this book. It's about a young girl who plays chess. And so much more. I know next to nothing about chess, but that doesn't seem to matter. Wonderful character analysis, unsentimental, empowering.... Read it.

This was very exciting, and you will never be able to guess what happens in the end. No, seriously.
