I've been meaning to review the entire Gives Light series: Gives Light, Looks Over, St. Clair and, now, Why the Star Stands Still. The first three books in the series -- the "trilogy" -- are merely amazing.While the stories are all fiction, they are based around the real-life practice of state run agencies taking Native American children from reservations and giving them to other families -- all for money. I had absolutely no idea things like this were still taking place in the United States of America. I'm not a Native American but am immediately going to the website Rose mentions above and signing the petition. It will take the efforts of many -- not just those immediately affected -- to end practices such as this.The books, unlike many e-books from independent authors, are well written. Characters are likable. The plots are involved. I had a hard time putting each one down and while I just started this one, am pretty sure I'll be up late tonight reading it.I _did_ choose to spend the 99 cents on Amazon (I'd have _gladly_ paid more) as I hope any money made by the author help in the fight against the kidnapping (because that's what it is) of Native American children. (Kind of makes you want to punch somebody, doesn't it? Even though violence never really solves anything.)
