Lately, all the Native American books start differently and end the same.  With this book Shirl Henke wrote an original story and followed it until the very end.  I am going to give you my comments on the book itself not the story because the story was already described by another reader.  Thank you for saving me the time.  This book was well written and has such a thorough completion of the lives and faults of all the characters that I was fascinated with all of them from the lives of the babes to the prostitutes.  The book will not engage all your senses (laughter, compassion, etc., but it will fulfill your need to sit and relax and concentrate on the story while you get from one character to the next.This is a complete wonderful story of innocence, love, mistrust, human nature and, most of all, what life is made up of - GREED.  Thank you Shirl Henke for this exceptional book.  I have come a long way reading your books - I went from a naive Native American reader to a matured commentator.  God Bless your mind and penmanship.
